284 AN OUTLINE OF BRITISH CATERPILLARS. 



The Chrysalis, or Pupa, of all the species of the genus are, it may- 

 be observed, of an angular figure ; and attached, as will be seen in 

 the accompanying wood-cut, to the various bodies from which they 

 are suspended, by the tail.* 



• These figures of V. antiopa, in its various states, were executed, under 

 our own inspection, by a Birmingham artist, named Royle; and are his first 

 attempt at the representation of entomological subjects on wood. We insert 

 them here, as illustrating the figure of the wings characteristic of Mr. Cur- 

 tis' second Sub-genus, and the general aspect of the Caterpillar and Chrysa- 

 lis of the genus. For the future, any iconographical illustrations which we 

 may give on this subject, will be either drawn from nature, or borrowed from 

 the admirable engravings of Messrs. Boisduval, Rambur, and Graslin.
