My thanks to Andy Warren, who
identified this skipper as Common Mellana. He added the caveat that you can't
be completely sure which species a Quisimellana is without dissecting the the
genitalia. I have listed it as Common Mellana, because that is the only Quisimellana
that has been recorded in the US to date.
