Extract

A common species of Hesperia in central Alabama, and that I do not find described by authors, is one that I call Syricthus communis. It is plentiful from early spring to autumn, and must be several brooded, but I have not found the larva.

The male is a little smaller, ans the white checkered spots are altogether larger and more numerous, than in the female. The ground colour of the wings is a brownish black, and longer bluish white hair spreads from the base of the forewings over the inferior portion of the primaries, and from the base of the hind wings downwardly without touching the abdominal margin
