 aries, obscured with a brownish tint on the upper half of the outer 

 border of pi'imaries; primaries with four pale fulvous spots; two 

 small inconspicuous dashes, one above the other, between the terminal 

 divarication of the subcostal nervure and two larger subquadrate 

 spots, lunated outwardly, the lower and larger situated between the 

 first and second median nervules, its inner border nearly on a line 

 with the outer border of the larger. 



Beneath light yellowish-brown, deepest on the costal border of 

 primaries; the inner and costal border of the secondaries narrowly 

 and faintly, the inner border of the primaries broadly and deeply 

 infuscated; the veins of both wings, but especially of the secondaries,

85. (74.) Hesperia Manataaqua Scudd. Mr. Merrill has

 spots — one, or both, sometimes obsolete — one above the other near the 

 extremity of the cell; in addition the 9 has a large transversely sub- 

 quadrate spot between the first and second median nervules, half-way 

 between the divarication of the second and third nervules, and the
