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-colom'ed 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 ivith 
Hesperia Lavateraa 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
