ON A NEW CLASSIFICATION OF THE RHOrALOCERA.

oven usinj; the (lata pointed out in purely descriptive works, as far as 

 possible, from a morphogenetic point of view. I have then compared the 

 results arrived at by my own researches, with those of other morpho- 

 logical investigations, and, where they have differed, discussed them 

 closely. It may, however, be strongly insisted upon that the true 

 phylogeny of several groups is yet doubtful, and can be cleared up only 

 by a critical comparison and compromise of the results of further 

 morphogenetic investigations of difi'erent characters. 



The following is an abstract of the new classification of the 

 Rhopalocora, proposed in my work, so far as it applies to the British 

 species : —

* The further division of the (irypuccia is omitted in my work I Ikit accept, 

 in the main, the grouping of Tutt (" The Classification of the British Buttertlies," 

 Entoin. liccord, vii., IS'IO, p. 300), and in the genera and species I follow the 

 nomenclature — although in some respects differing from that used in my work — 

 assumed in the same paper.
