yellow spot occupying the greater part of the middle, four 
or five minute spots of the same color near the tips of the 
fore wings, on which is also a short brownish line at the 
outer extremity of the central mesh ; 
under side of the fore wings similar 
to the upper, but paler ; hind wings 
brown beneath, with a yellow spot 
near the shoulder, and a very broad 
deep yellow band, which does not 
attain the inner margin, and has a 
tooth-like projection extending towards the hinder edge. 
The male has not the usual distinguishing oblique dash on 
the fore wings, which differ from those of the female only 
in the greater size of the tawny portion, which extends to 
the front margin. 
Expands from to l-f^ inch. 
This skipper comes very near to the Otho of Smith and 
Abbot (which is not the same as the Otho of Boisduval), and 
also approaches closely to a species that is figured in Dr. 
Boisduval’s work under the name of Zabulon ; but does not 
sufficiently agree with either of them, and, in the belief that 
it has not been described before, I have given it the name 
of one of our celebrated Indian chiefs. It is found in June 
and July. 
Hesperia Leonardusi Leonard’s Skipper. (Fig. 138.)

hind the latter a row of con- 
tiguous tawny spots, extend- 
ing from the middle of the 
inner edge towards the tip ; 
the spots at this extremity small and separated from the oth-
