Psyche 
[December 
Natural History. This species is found on the underside of leaves 
of shrubs and small trees. Schmidt (1956) reports that it is common- 
ly brought with bananas to Europe. 
Distribution. Probably cosmotropical ; the absence of closely related 
species in America might suggest that it has been introduced. 
(Schmidt, 1956, records having obtained specimens with fruit from 
Guatemala, Colombia, French West Africa and Belgian Congo) .
