feet. It seems a rare species, but I have a pair from 

 Copiapo, and E.eed says it occurs in the province of 

 Valdivia. The male figured is from Lolco and the female 

 from Copiapo.

I took this at the Baths of Cauquenes and at Coronel, 

 but it does not seem common anywhere. 



50. Hesperia fulvovittatus. 



Fyrgus fulvovittatus, Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc, Lond., 

 1881, p. 475. 



This was described from a single specimen in Edmonds' 

 collection, locality unknown. There are some from Callao 

 collected by Walker in the British Museum collection 

 which seem veiy close, and it may not be a Chilean species.

I took a single female at Quillota and another near 

 Llai-llai on January 1st. Afterwards I found it abundant 

 on a dry bushy plain below the Quillen lake in Argentina 

 on February 2nd at about 3000 feet. Here it was flying 

 about small bushes close to the ground. The male figured 

 is from Quillen and the female from Quillota. There are 

 specimens in the British Museum collection from Callao 

 and Goquimbo taken by Walker, 



A co-type of valdiviana in coll. British Museum looks 

 like a variety of the same species but may be distinct.

I am not sure that I took this myself, though I found 

 a pair in one of my boxes without locality. It seems 

 rarer than the next species, though Edmonds took it at 

 Copiapo, Cauquenes, Valparaiso and Valdivia.
