The Tawny-edged Skipper (''Polites themistocles'') is a North American butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. ==Description== This species varies geographically and within populations.〔Rick Cech and Guy Tudor (2005). ''Butterflies of the East Coast''. Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ. ISBN 0-691-09055-6〕 The upper side of the male's wings is brown or olive brown with the fore wing having bright orange along the costa that ends at the stigma. The stigma is thicker than the male Crossline Skipper's (''Polites origenes'') and it usually runs more parallel to the costa.〔〔Jim P. Brock and Kenn Kaufman (2003). ''Butterflies of North America''. Houghton Mifflin, New York, NY. ISBN 0-618-15312-8〕 The upper side of the female's wings is brown with the fore wing having a less conspicuous orange costa than the male. Near the end of the fore wing cell there are two rectangular pale spots and three pale spots in a row in the subapical area. The underside of the wings vary form light brown to brown to brownish-orange. Sometimes the hind wing will have a crossband like the Crossline Skipper, but it is usually much more faint. The "tawny-edged" fore wing strongly contrasts with the hind wing color.〔〔 Its wingspan ranges from ¾ to 1 inch.〔Ernest M. Shull (1987). ''The Butterflies of Indiana''. Indiana Academy of Science.
