DINGY SKIPPER. 157 



and most distinct. In some specimens the two coloui's contrast 

 together much more markedly than in others. The margin is 

 grey, edged on its inside by a black line, close within which 

 is a linear row of small white dots. There are two white dots 

 near the front edge towards the upper outer corner. The 

 hind wings are blackish brown, with a few indistinct paler 

 marks above the centre, beneath which is an indistinct row of 

 paler dots, and then a linear row of white dots. The margin 

 grey. 



Underneath, the fore wings are of a uniform pale fulvous 

 grey brown, with a small white dot near the outer corner on 

 the front edge, and a line of dull white dots within the marginal 

 line. The hind wings are of a similar colour, within a quadrant 

 of dull white spots above the middle of the wing, towards the 

 front edge, and a half line of others following inside the other 

 line. 



The colours in the female are brighter than in the male. 



The caterpillar is bright green, the head brown, the back and 

 sides with yellow stripes, dotted with black. 



The figures are from specimens in my own cabinet.
