LARGE SKIPPER. 159 



duller and less distinctly: the brown is tinged with green in 

 some lights. The hind wings have also a greenish cast, the 

 spots shewing through, and the lower corner and margin orange. 



The female is without the black bar on the fore Avings ; their 

 base is also fulvous brown as is the margin, so that the orange 

 forms a wide irregular bar across the centre of these wings. The 

 hind wings are tawny brown, with a waved bar of orange; the 

 margin lighter, edged with black interiorly. 



Underneath the colours shew through, but duller; the hind 

 wings are principally of a greenish cast, the lower corner orange, 

 and the bar the same, but paler. 



The figures are from specimens in my own collection.
