rpHE Revision of the American Papilios, by Lord Rothschild and Dr. Jordan. 

 J- published in August 1906, describes some 169 species, together with many 

 geographical forms or subspecies. This is a large number for one genus, and 

 is indicative of the wonderful lepidopterous wealth of the continent, especially 

 in its tropical and sub-tropical regions. By comparison England possesses but 

 a solitary representative of the genus in P. machaon, and the whole of Europe 

 only four species.
