Butterflies. 6 1 



found in Teneriffe. It resembles the English Lnl worth 

 Skipper, and frequents damp places near the water- 

 courses, though somewhat partial and scarce. In a 

 limited spot near Orotava it has been found in quanti- 

 ties ; and at Tacoronti, where butterflies abound, some 

 have been taken. The whole surface is of an orange- 

 bronze colour with slight brown markings. The antennse 

 are short and club-like ; the head is large, and the body 

 thickish. It is found from April till June, but solitary 

 specimens are sometimes met with earlier in the year.
