This skipper * has not been 
described before, but is ficrured 
in Dr. Boisduval’s work under 
the name above given. It is 
found in the same places and

bears a close resemblance in the caterpillar and chrysalis 
states, and lives on the same kind of plants.

males, is doubled over; the hind Avings are often tailed, or 
are furnished Avith a little projection on the hinder angle; 
the fringes are spotted ; and all the wings are raised when 
at rest.
