DINGY SKIPPER.

and most distinct. In some specimens the two colours contrast
together much more markedly than in others. The margin is
grey, edged on its inside by a black line, close within which
is a linear row of small white dots. There are two white dots
near the front edge towards the upper outer corner. The
hind wings are blackish brown, with a few indistinct paler
marks above the centre, beneath which is an indistinct row of
paler dots, and then a linear roAV of white dots. The margin
grey.
Underneath, the fore wings are of a uniform pale fulvous
grey brown, with a small white dot near the outer corner on
the front edge, and a line of dull Avhite dots within the marginal
line. The hind wings are of a similar colour, within a quadrant
of dull white spots above the middle of the wing, towards the
front edge, and a half line of others following inside the other
line.
The colours in the female are brighter than in the male.
The caterpillar is bright green, the head brown, the back and
sides with yellow stripes, dotted with black.
The figures are from specimens in my own cabinet.
