Remarks on family “ Hesperia.” 
1. No reliable systemization of this family has been attempted by 
the compiler of this catalogue. A searching monograph on the “ Hes- 
perians,” by some capable hand would be very desirable. Doubleday 
left this portion of his work unfinished, and Westwood does not seem 
to have attended to it with necessary care and patient investiga¬ 
tion. 2. May prove a variety of G. talus. 3. Walker (in British 
Museum Catalogue) supposes this species too closely allied with the 
“ Castinadm” to be continued among the “ Hesperians.” 4. Subject 
to variation. Many of the “ skippers ” are so similar in form and col¬ 
oring that their sexes can only be determined with much difiiculty; 
numerous varieties will probably for a long time continue catalogued 
as distinct species. 5. This genus is so unsettled and mixed up with 
that of Hesperia, proper, that it has seemed best for the present to re¬ 
fer the individuals that occasionally stand under this generic head to
