N. syn.= Choregia ignita, Z. Hor. Soc. Ent. Ross. xiii. pp. 195-6

West Indies — San Domingo (Wkr.), St. Martin (Snell.), Cuba (Z.\ 

 Portorico (Mschl.), St. Vincent (windward side, sea-level, 2 speci- 

 mens, Smith). 



It is, I think, more than probable that Tortyra spectabilis, Wkr. 

 (Brazil), and Choregia fulg ens, F. & R. (Colombia), are also varieties 

 of this species ; indeed, Zeller indicates the same opinion in naming 

 Choregia ignita under his remarks on Choregia fulgens, and not 

 under a separate heading. The differences appear to be the gene- 

 rally brighter colouring of the thorax and fore wings, and the small 

 longitudinal black streaks running towards the apex of the wing in 

 the West-Indian form.
