brown scales, with the sub-apical whitish spots of the 

 upper surface repeated ; between them and the tip a 

 reddish-brown patch ; the outer margin rather broadly 

 bordered with grayish scales. Secondaries reddish-brown 

 with a very broad transverse greyish band of whitish 

 mixed with reddish-brown scales, placed a little beyond 

 the middle, with somewhat irregular borders, expanding 

 between the sub-costal and the median, having much the 

 appearance of that in H. Hobomok ; the outer margin 

 rather broadly bordered with greyish scales like that of 

 primaries, deeper in tint than the transverse band ; 

 between the costal and sub-costal, midway between its 

 union with the subcostal and the broad band, a small spot 

 of greyish scales; fringe of both wings ochraceous or dark 

 brown. Expanse of wings nearly 1 1-2 in. I have only 

 seen a few specimens taken in Mass. and Conn, by Mr. 

 Norton ; very rare. 



68. Hesperia Leonardus Harr. Appears to be quite an 

 uncommon species, but I have taken it abundantly on 

 Cape Cod in September. 



69. Hesperia Mystic. Pampliila Mystic Edwards Mss. 

 $ Above : Primaries ; the outer border broadly margined 

 with dark broWn, the inner edge of the margin excava- 

 ted between the subcostal and median nervures ; the rest 

 of the wing dark golden-yellow, except a dark-brown 

 patch between the sub-costal and median a little beyond 

 the middle, the griminess of the base of the wing, and 

 the velvety black dash, which here extends from the sub- 

 apical patch to the sub-median nervure, at about two- 

 fifths the distance from the base ; it is nearly straight, but 

 formed of two shallow crescents, the innermost occupying 

 the space between the median and sub-median, each 

 broadly bordered externally with a blackish-brown round- 

 ish spot, the two partially or wholly confluent. Secon- 

 daries ; the entire border broadly margined with dark- 

 brown, the central portions dark golden- yellow traversed 

 by dark nervures, and transversely by a narrow dusky 

 medial band. 



Beneath ochraceous with the markings of the upper 

 surface duskily repeated and in addition a broad blackish 

 patch along the basal half of inner border of primaries,
