 wings beneath have two rows of dots of the same color

This skipper * has not been 

 described before, but is figured 

 in Dr. Boisduval's work under 

 the name above mven. It is 

 found in the same places and 

 at the same times as the pre- 

 ceding species, to which also it 

 bears a close resemblance in the caterpillar and chrysalis 

 states, and lives on the same kind of plants. 



In the skippers which Dr. Boisduval arranges under the 

 name of Eudamus^ the knobs of the antennas are very long, 

 gradually taper to a point, and are suddenly bent like a hook 

 in the middle ; the front edge of the fore wings, in the 

 males, is doubled over ; the hind wings are often tailed, or 

 are furnished with a little projection on the hinder angle ; 

 the fringes are spotted ; and all the wings are raised when 

 at rest.

This large and beautiful insect makes its appearance, from 

 the middle of June till after the beginning of July, upon 

 sweet-scented flowers, which it visits during the middle of 

 the day. Its flight is vigorous and rapid, and its strength is

 of the JuvtnaUs ; but the sexes of both of these species are known to me.
