from the same point to the base. Some of this 
division have filiform or sharpened antennie^, ill 
which particular they resemble Moths, but may 
generally be very clearly distinguished by their 
habit or general shape. The Equites are either 
Trees or Trojans, distinguished by having red 
or blood-coloured spots or patches on each side 
their breasts, or Achivi, Greeks, without red marks 
on the breast, of gayer colours in general than 
the former, and often having an eye-shaped spot 
at the inner corner of the lower wings. 
The next division consists of the IleViconii, 
These are distinguished by the narrowness of their 
wings, which are also, in general, of a more trans- 
parent appearance than in the other divisions 
their upper wings are also generally much more 
oblong than the lower, which are short in propor- 
tion. 
The third division consists of the Danai, (from 
the sons and daughters of Danaus.) They are 
divided into Dcmai Candidly or those in which the 
ground-colour of the wings is generally white, and 
the Danai Festku, in which the ground-colour is 
never white, and in wdiich a greater variety of 
colour occurs than in the Candidi. The wings of 
the Danai are of a somewdiat rounder shape than 
those of the Heliconii, or less stretched out. 
The fourth section consists of the NymphaleSy 
* This part of the generic character is to be received witli 
some limitation, since in the tribe Equites the antennae are 
slender at the tip itself, though tliickened a little before that part.
