$ form POCAHONTAS 

 Hesperia pocahontas Scud., Proc. Ess. Inst, ni, 171, 1863. 

 Hesperia quadaquina Scud., Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist, xi, 381, 1868.

Pocahontas differs from the normal female in the pale shade and greater 

 restriction of the spots on the upper surface, and the brown powdering of 

 the secondaries below. 



4. POANES ZABULON 



Hesperia zabulon Boisd. & Lee, Lep. Am. Sept. pi. 76, ff. 6, 7, 1833.

 364, pi. xlvii, f. 39, 1898, 



Illinois, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, North Carolina; May and August. 



Holland's figure looks much more like the true female of zabulon than 

 like pocahontas, though it is impossible to identify a figure of the upper 

 surface accurately. The under surface of the secondaries of the male of 

 zabulon is bright yellow with a few marks of brown. In the female the 

 brown areas are more extensive and the entire wing is so heavily powdered 

 with rusty scales that it is difficult to trace the pale areas at all.
