LULWORTH SKIPPER. 165 



inch; the fore wings are of a bronze brown colour, with an 

 orange brown dash, and a short bar of the same, also a straight 

 black horizontal line in the middle of the wing; the fringe 

 darker, edged on the inside with an evanescent dark line. 

 The hind wings are of the same general bronze brown colour, 

 the dark line near the edge more distinct and wider. 



Underneath, the wings are more of an orange cast, but in 

 some lights it is not diffused, but the ground colour appears. 



"The disc of the fore wings in the female is more tawny 

 orange; beyond the dark extremity of the discoidal cell is a 

 curved scries of six or seven orange spots, divided from each 

 other by the veins of the wings. The under side has a pearly 

 ochre lustre; a large orange patch on the fore wings extending 

 to the tip of the discoidal cell, where the pale row of spots 

 again appears, but more obscurely, and an oblique portion of 

 the inner edge of the hind wings yellowish orange." 



The plate is from specimens in my own collection.
