Of these forty-two subgenera it cannot be questioned that many represent evident groups, although of unequal rank, ami in many 

 instances artificially far apart, the eight families being quite artificial. We accordingly adopted certain of them in the nomen- 

 clature of our three plates of Hesperidfc, although a more mature consideration of their characters prevents us from regardino- most of 

 them as of generic rank, as is likewise the case with other subgeneric names indicated in Hiibner's subsequent works. 



The classification of Latreille, published in the Encyclopedie Methodiqite, is founded upon more important considerations, and is as 

 follows : — 



I. Angle anal des ailes inferieures prolonge en une queue presque lineaire. Subdivided from the entire or dentate margin and faseiated marking of the hind 



wings ; sp. 1 — 7. Types, Eudoxus Fab. Cr.; Eurycles ( Dorantes Stoll) Proteus Linn. 

 II. Ailes inferieures sans queue ou n'ayant au plus <iu'un prolongenient fort court en nianiere de dent, a Tangle anal. 

 1. Fore wings with the costa not or but slightly arched ; the tip not hooked nor foliate. 



A. Outer margin of hind wings, with the anal angle forming a small tooth or very small tail, or sinuated before the anal angle, 

 a. Wings nearly alike in both sexes ; the fore ones without a dark streak on the disc running across the veins. 

 *. Part of the head, anus, anal augle of hind wings, and often the collar, scarlet or orange, 

 ■j*. Outer margin of hind wings entire. 



a. Antennie suddenly bent ami pointed at the tip; sp. 8 — 11. Arinas F. Cr.; Polyhius, F. (Palemon O'.). 

 Ii. Antennie gradually curved at the tip, and terminated by a small oblong club, narrowed at the tip or obtuse ; sp. 

 12 — 17. Jupiter F. (Iphis Drnry; Phidias (V.); Phidias Linn. &c. 

 ■ff. Outer margin of hind wings sinuated; sp. 18, ly. Versicolor and Assaricus Cr. 

 **. Head and anus or anal angle of hind wings not simulianeously ^c rlet. 

 ■f. Hind wings dentate. 



a. Wings without vitreous spots, or with only a single discoidal one; sp. 20 — 25. Volyzonn (Vulcanus Cr.) Gnetus F. 



(Pygmalion Cr.) Sec.
