Fam. B. — The upper surface of the wings usually of a reddish- 

 gold, or copper colour, often with black maculae; the 

 under surface always spotted ; the posterior wings with 

 an orange-coloured plain fascia, or composed of a series 

 of maculae, near the posterior margin; anal extremity 

 usually distinctly angular. 



Larva, generally longer than those of the preceding family; 

 usually pale green, and villose ; hairs reddish ; head light 

 brown, or brownish-white. 



Pupa brownish, usually obtuse at each end ; suspended hori- 

 zontally by threads attached to the neck and posterior 

 extremity.

* Ochsenheimer also quotes, inter alia, (though with a note of doubt,) 

 Lewin's Ins. pi. 39. f. 8. 9, as icons of his L. JEgo?i> which, according to 

 Haworth, represent Papilio {Lyccena) Artaxerxes. Through the kindness of 

 James Wilson, Esq. of Woodville, Canaan, near Edinburgh, and author of 

 the beautiful Illustrations of Zoology now in course of publication, my ca- 

 binet is rich in specimens of that singularly local and rare insect, by com- 

 paring which with Ochsenheimer's specific characters of L. JEgon, it is ob- 

 vious that he never saw the true L. Artaxerxes. I subjoin his sp. ch. of 

 L. JEgon, and the very accurate one of P. Artaxerxes, as given by Mr. Ha- 

 worth.

 P. Artaxerxes. Alis nigris, anticis puncto medio utrinque albo, posticis lunu- 



lis rufis, subtus margine albo rufo punctato. — Haw. Lep. Brit. p. 47.
