Trichromia (?) sp. indet. 1

This rare species is apparently an undescribed Jamaican endemic. I sent my only specimen, caught near Mavis Bank in April 1988, to John Rawlins at the Carnegie Museum for "immediate description" (!) in 1989. There is a further specimen in the Carnegie Museum taken by Avinoff at Hardwar Gap in December 1932 (John Rawlins, pers. comm.); one in the IOJ collection with data "Mandeville, Manchester, May 17-20 1958, F. Seal Coon" (Tom Turner, pers. comm.) and a further one in Tom Turner’s collection from Worthy Pond, St. Catharine, Feb. 11 1972.
