for its winter retreat the moderate climate afforded by the region 
lying between the elevations of 3000 and 4000 feet.

This species seems to be an inhabitant of the hot sea-board 
only, and does not extend its vertical range to a greater eleva¬ 
tion than 2000 feet. In such regions on the Pacific coast it is 
very abundant, and is, in fact, the commonest of the family, in 
some parts almost swarming. In every village numbers maybe 
seen flitting about the blossoms of the orange- and lime-trees. 
Its horizontal range appears to be extensive, and may be said to 
include the whole of the southern portion of Guatemala from the 
confines of Chiapas to the State of San Salvador, and probably 
also embraces the Balsam coast of that Republic, as Capt. Taylor 
obtained examples on Tigre Island, Bay of Fonseca (P. Z. S. 
1858, p. 358).
