[April 
Body dark grey; palpi white; antennae black and white in fine rings, 
interrupted on the under side and there yellowish; club ferruginous. 
Female. Expands inch; resembles the male. 
Taken on Long Island by Mr. Calverley; at Washington, D. C., by 
Mr. Drexler. 
This species resembles Malvae of Europe, and would come under the 
head of Syrichtus of Boisduval, and Pyrgus or Thymele of other au¬ 
thors. G-reat confusion exists in the Hesperidae and the names and 
limits of genera are by no means agreed upon. It is understood that 
Mr. Scudder intends monographing our species, and, therefore, I have 
temporarily placed those above described under Hesperia, in accord¬ 
ance with his practice and that of Dr. Harris.
