156 LULWOETH SKIPPER. 



In this small species the expansion of the wings is about an 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 series 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 caterpillar is tapered towards the head and the tail, the latter 

 being large, and as it were almost separated from the body. It is of 

 a pale greyish green colour, with a darker line along the back, edged 

 with a slender pale yellow streak on either side, and enclosing a pale 

 line along its middle ; a narrow yellowish line runs above on the side, 

 and a broader one below. The two lines on the back reach to the 

 middle of the head, and at the tail is narrowly ended with pale yellow. 

 The head is at first brown, afterwards paler, with two distinct yellowish 

 lines edged on the outside with brown, greenish in older ones, with 

 shorter and paler lines, without daiker edges. There are two white 

 patches on the under side of the tenth and eleventh segments. 



The plate is from specimens in mv own collection.
