Hob. Grenada — Balthazar, on the Windward side 
(H. H. Smith), Guadeloupe, St. Thomas, Porto Kico, 
Haiti, Jamaica (Cockerell), and Cuba. 
Fabricius's description of this species has been entirely 
overlooked, or else has been taken to apply to some other 
insect. He gives the locality as Insula St. Thomas 
Americae,^' and his description fits the present species 
fairly well. 
The genus Methia, though belonging to the family 
Lamiidse, seems to have strong affinities with the Ceram- 
bycid genus CEme ; and a specimen of the above species, 
sent to me by Mr. Cockerell, was at first mistaken for a 
species of the latter genus.
