1896. ] BUTTERFLIES OF THE FAMILY HESPERIID®. 21 
say that we are dealing here with two distinct species. “ Luteous ” 
is muddy yellow, and nothing is commoner among the Hesperiide 
than the change of the white markings of the abdomen into 
yellowish by greasing and other accidents. I am reluctant to 
differ from my learned friend Dr. Butler on any point, but after 
studying the specimens before me with the figures and descriptions 
given by himself and Westwood, I am still of the opinion that 
Mr. Trimen’s original identification was correct, and that the 
separation of the form known to Trimen from that described by 
Westwood is an unnecessary refinement.

3. Allied to A. elegantula, Mab., from which it differs by the 
entire absence of the discal spots on the primaries. The second- 
aries are white, with the basal third, the outer angle, and the 
inner margin clouded with dark brown, shading on the costa into 
orange-red. The white outer area is intersected by the veins, 
which are black. 
On the underside, the primaries are much paler than on the 
upperside and are slightly tinged near the base and on the costa 
with ochreous. The secondaries are pure white, except on the costal 
margin and the outer angle, where they are laved with pale brown 
shading into ochraceous, The yeins on the underside are not black
