LULW0RTH SKIPPER. 165<br />
inch; the fore wings are of a bronze brown colour, with an<br />
orange brown dash, and a short bar of the same, also a straight<br />
black horizontal line 'in the middle of the wing; the fringe<br />
darker, edged on the inside with an evanescent dark line.<br />
The hind wings are of the same general bronze broAvn colour,<br />
the dark line near the edge more distinct and wider.<br />
Underneath, the wings are more of an orange cast, but in<br />
some lights it is not diffused, but the ground colour appears.<br />
"The disc of the fore wings in the female is more tawny<br />
orange; beyond the dark extremity of the discoidal cell is a<br />
curved series of six or' seven orange spots, divided from each<br />
other by the veins of the wings. The under side has a pearly<br />
ochre lustre; a large orange patch on the fore wings extending<br />
to the tip of the discoidal cell, where the pale row of spots<br />
again appears, but more obscurely, and an oblique portion of<br />
the inner edge of the hind wings yellowish orange."<br />
The plate is from specimens in my own collection.
