The scientific Entomologists of Europe will be aware that this 

 is one among the number of those Fabrician species of the Hesperia 

 tribe, which Fabricius has described from the drawings of Mr. Jones, 

 and of which no figure has hitherto appeared : its introduction 

 therefore to public notice cannot fail to be esteemed of some moment 

 to the curious generally, and to the Entomologist in particular. The 

 original drawing was taken by Mr. Jones from a specimen in the 

 cabinet of Mr, Drury, that had been received from Cayenne, and 

 was subsequently described in the entomological writings of Fabri- 

 cius, to which our synonyms refer. It is an insect of simple, deli- 

 cate, and pleasing aspect, especially beneath where the red streaks 

 and lunules of the same colour appear to peculiar advantage on the 

 pure white, which constitutes the ground colour of the wings. Its 

 size and appearance will be found very correctly expressed in the 

 figures of the annexed plate.
