The specimen here figured appears to be less strongly marked with black than 
ordinary, the posterior margin of the wings being spotted with that colour, instead of 
being entirely black. 
HESPERIA ORIGINES. 
Plate XL VIII. fig. 2. 
Species. Hesperia Origines : alis fuscis ; striga punctorum alborum ; anticis basi oblique 
testaceis. Expans. alar. unc. ]l. 
Hesperia : with the wings brown, with a row of white dots ; the anterior with a large 
oblique testaceous patch at the base. Expanse of the wings, 11 inch. 
Syn. Hesperia (U.) Origines, Fair . Ent. Syst. III. 1. p. 328, (Hesperia Thaumas). Enc. 
Meth. 9. 766 ? 
Habitat. “In Indiis,” ( Fabricius .) North America, (Enc. Meth.) 
As there appears to be some doubt of the precise identity of this insect with the 
Hesperia Thaumus of Fabricius, as well as of its sex, and as the accompanying figure 
agrees with the Fabrician description of H. Origines, I have thought it best to retain 
the latter name.
