Genus Achalarus Scudder
(1) Achalarus lycidas (Smith & Abbot), Plate CXXXII, Fig. 1, ♀ (The Hoary-edge).
Upper side strongly recalls E. tityrus but the hoary edge of the hind wings and the absence of the silvery spots found in tityrus at once separate the two. Expanse 1.65-1.95 inch.
Rare in southern New England, common in Southern States as far west as Texas.
(2) Achalarus cellus (Boisduval & Leconte), Plate CXXXII, Fig. 2, ♂ (The Golden-banded Skipper).
On upper side as shown in our figure; on under side hind wings banded as in E. proteus, no silver spots. Expanse 2.00 inches.
Found in the Virginias and southward to Arizona and Mexico.
