edge, and spotted as on the upper side ; hind wings with a

This very distinct and strongly marked skipper does not 
seem to have been described before. For a specimen of the 
male I am indebted to the Rev. L. lY. Leonard, to whom I 
have dedicated the species. The females I have taken in the 
beginning of September.

Dark brown above; all the Avings with a taAAmy-yellow

Avith tAvo or three little detached spots of the same color near 
the extremity of the first pair; beneath ochre-yelloAV, AAdth 
small pale yelloAV spots near the tip, corresponding to those 
on the upper side of the fore Avings ; and on the hind Avings 
seven small, square, pale yelloAV spots, namely, one before the 
middle and the others in pairs behind it. 
Expands IJ inch. 
Of this skipper I have seen only the female, AAdiich AA^as 
taken in Cambridge in the month of June. Its upper side 
is A^ery much like that of the Hobomok skipper, but it differs

seems not to have been described before. I have therefore 
given it, as a neAv species, the name of an Indian Avarrior.
