CLASSIFICATION OF THE LEPIDOPTERA PAPIL10NINA, 299 



Notes on the above — 



(1). Under the Genus Apatura a large number of species are 

 included which many naturalists have tried to separate into a 

 number of genera. In so large a number there is naturally 

 some variation in structure, particularly in those directions 

 towards which the whole family shows a tendency such as for 

 instance the abortion of the outer margin of the cell. But 

 the divisions based on these differences are evidently not 

 natural ones. A number of Indian species have been included 

 in the Genus Limenitis but do not agree with that genus 

 in characters. There are apparently no true Limenitis in 

 India. 



(2). Symph^dra as restricted here contains but two Indian 

 species. 



(3). The genera are numbered in accordance with their apparent 

 order of descent. The following table sufficiently explains 

 the philogeny of the principal genera : —
