PL. CXLVIII
(2) Atrytone zabulon (Boisduval & Leconte), [Plate CXLVIII], Fig. 1, ♂ (The Zabulon Skipper).
Very closely related to the following species from which it may be distinguished by its somewhat smaller size and the presence of the heavier dark markings at the apex of the fore wings above. Expanse 1.25-1.50 inch.
Ranges from New England to Georgia and westward to the Rocky Mountains.
(3) Atrytone hobomok (Harris), [Plate CXLVIII], Fig. 2, ♂; variety pocohontas Scudder, [Plate CXLVIII], Fig. 3, ♀ (The Hobomok Skipper).
In the male the small apical spots are not enclosed by a band of dark color as in the preceding species, and the pale area on the middle of the hind wings is more restricted, the inner margin of this wing being more widely fuscous. The variety of the female called pocohontas by Dr. Scudder is melanic, and is, as shown in our figure, very dark with conspicuous light spots in the fore wing. Expanse 1.25-1.50 inch.
