Fig. 3. Hcxpcria vialvac. Type of genus and family. Size 2/1. All veins separate, 

 lelatively equi-rlistant. No vein IX ; instead, a loop at base of VII. as in 

 other Hesperiades (when not worn out). Introduced here to enable the be- 

 holder to see at a glance the impossibility demanded by Mr Scudder's classi- 

 fication. 

 Fig. -J. Pier Is rapae. Type of genus and family. Size 2/1. The small partially 

 absorbed vein III3+4, vanishes in M. hrassicae. On hindwings note want of 

 absorption of III by II and position of cross-vein. 



Eitchloe cardaviincs. Type of genus of Anthocharini. Size 2/1. Note the 

 tive-branched radius, generalised as compared with Ficris. 



Ncmcohius lucina. Type of genus and family. Size 2/1. Introduced here to 

 show correspondence with Pieridae. On secondaries vein IVi leaves radius 

 (vein III) beyond the cell. Compare with figures given here of Lycaeni- 

 Hesperiadae. 



Leptidia shiripis. Type of genus and sub-family. The disparateness between 

 this and the other Pieridae here figured is to be noted and text compared. 



jVympha/is lucilla. Type of genus and f:imilj\ Size 2/1. The cell is open, 

 the system of the media has disappeared from the wing as a system, 

 IVi , an IV2 have joined the radial, IXz , the cubital system. II and III 

 fused on hindwings to point of issue of I.
