206 A NEW SPECIES OF HESPERIIDAE (lEPIDOPTERA) 



Underside: 'primaries, brown, sometimes with hoary area along the outer 

 margin especially pronounced at the apex, and a light colored band along the 

 inner margin; the spots of the upper side are repeated. 



Secondaries: brown, sprinkled with white scales; darker on the basal area. 

 Across the basal third of the wing there is an irregular dark band, and another 

 similar band about midway between this band and the outer margin. The 

 lighter colored area between the outer band and the margin is sometimes 

 hoary. 



9 . Same as the male except that the wings are slightly more rounded, and 

 the spots of the primaries are a little larger; the spot just inside the cell is 

 .s(jmetimes elongated, extending across the cell. 



Palpi grayish and no costal fold in the male. 



Described from 55 males and 19 females collected at Tampa, 

 Florida. Male and female types and two paratypes in American 

 Museum of Natural History, New York City; two paratypes in 

 National Museum, Washington, D. C; two paratypes in 

 Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, N. Y., and remaining paratypes 

 in collection of E. L. Bell. I have tentatively placed this species 

 in the genus Thoryhes on its general resemblance to the other 

 species in that genus, but it may possibly not belong there. 



Sometimes females of this species are not readily separated 

 from the females of Thoryhes daunus; on the upper surface, 

 though, there is usually a slight difference in the arrangement 

 of the spots. In such cases, however, the color and general ap- 

 pearance of the secondaries below is quite sufficient to separate 

 them in all the specimens I have seen, I also have this species 

 from Missouri and Arkansas.
