Fig. ?>. Hciperla malvac. Type of genus and family. Size 2/1. All veins separate, 

 relatively 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. 4. Picris rapac. Tj'pe of genus and family. Size 2/1. The small partially 

 absorbed vein IIIs+4, vanishes in 3L hrassicae. On hindwings note want of 

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



Euchloe cardamincs. Type of genus of Anthocharini. Size 2/1. Note the 

 five-branched radius, generalised as compared with Picris. 



Ncmcobins lucina. Tj'pe 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 fiinapis. Type of genus and sub-family. The disparateness between 

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



Nymphalis lunlla. Type of genus and family. Size 2/1. The cell is open, 

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

 lYi , an IV2 have joined the radial, lYs , the cubital system. II and III 

 fused on hindwings to point of issue of I.
