Of the last division, termed Plebeii, may be ad- 

 duced as an example a small English Butterfly 

 called P, Malvce, of a blackish or brown colour, 

 with numerous whitish and semitransparent spots. 

 It belongs to the Plebeii Urbicolce. 



The P. Betulcz is also seen in woods, and is a 

 small species, of a blackish-brown colour, with a 

 broad orange bar on the upper wings, the lower 

 pair being slightly produced into two orange- 

 coloured tails or processes towards the inner 

 corner, This species belongs to the Plebeii Ru- 

 rales, 



TO this latter division also belongs a very beauti- 

 ful exotic species, a native of India, and of a most 

 exquisite lucid blue colour, edged with black, and 

 farther ornamented by having each of the lower 

 wings tipped with two narrow black tail-shaped 

 processes. It is the P, Marsyas of Linnaeus.
