Differs from H. irava, Moore, in having the pale spot in cell 2 of the fore wing only 

 separated from the cell-spot by the lower boundary of the cell, and the small pale spot in 

 the cell of the hind wing below white instead of yellow. We have not seen this species.

Resembles H. irava in the spotting of the fore wing above, but the hind wing below 

 is pale ochreous, coarsely striated transversely with brown, and there is a brown streak 

 near the costa and another next the dorsum. We have not seen this species.

Eetion. 

 Eetion, de Niceville, Jour. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. 1895, p. 395. Type elia, Hew. 



This is a genus erected by de Niceville for the Hesperia elia of Hewitson, a species 

 which is well distinguished from its immediate allies by the presence of hyaline spots 

 on the disc of the hind wing ; these form a transverse row and are placed one in each of 

 cells 1 b, 2, 3, and 4-5. There is in the male a tuft of long hairs near the base of the 

 dorsum of the fore wing below, and on the upperside of the fore wing a seam of 

 modified scales passing obliquely inwards and downwards from the base of vein 3, 

 nearly half of its length lying below vein 2.
