GRIZZLED SKIPPER. Ill 



latter having the whitish fringe interrupted with 

 narrow dusky spots. The under side is grey tinged 

 with green, with spots nearly corresponding to those 

 on the surface, but many of them somewhat en 

 larged. 



The Pap. Fritillum of Lewin and some other 

 writers, according to the opinion of Mr. Stephens, 

 is merely a variety of the above. It has an oblong 

 whitish mark towards the middle of the upper 

 wings not far from the anterior margin, and the 

 other light-coloured spots are larger and of a more 

 oblong shape than in the form already described. 

 It has been occasionally regarded as a distinct 

 species, and is thought to be synonymous with 

 Hesperia Lavateras of Fabricius. 



This insect is found in some plenty in many 

 parts of England, and occasionally in the south of 

 Scotland. It appears about the end of May. Woods 

 and meadows in the neighbourhood of London.
