(i) If the first species principle be employed the genus must 

 fall before Pieris Schrank (1801) with apollo as type. 



(2) According to Rothschild & Jordan's Revision of the N. Am. 

 Papilios, dolicaon Cram, and marceUus Bdv. (o/a.r auct. ) fall into 

 group HI of Papilio, so tlie generic name IphicUdcs Hbn. may still be 

 used as in Dyar's List if desired. 



(3) The effect of the "first species" principle applied here 

 would be to retain the old and well-known name for the group, as 

 priamus falls, according to Rothschild & Jordan's revision, in group I 

 of Papilio, the generic term Ornithoptcra, usually applied to this spe- 

 cies, being "scientifically untenable." 



(4) Scudder fixes the type of the genus as philenor Linn, quite 

 arbitrarily, giving no reason. Philenor falls into Group L the Aristo- 

 lochia Swallow-tails, according to the revision, whilst iilysses is placed 

 in Group H, the fluted Swallow-tails. 



(5) Of the two species listed under this generic name, acauda 

 Obert, is an aberrational form of philenor and polydamas falls, ac- 

 cording to the revision, in Group I of Papilio. 



(6) Scudder again has fi.xed the type as nero quite arbitrarily, 

 giving no reason for the choice. As we know neither of these exotic 

 species we cannot say how a change of type would affect our N. Ameri- 

 can species.
