This arrangement is, however, tentative and artificial, and 

 will require considerable modification and improvement before 

 it can be accepted as final. Thus, while the long-winged 

 Colcenis and Metamorpha seem quite out of place in the 

 " Argynnis " group, Argynnis and Melitcea, and Neptis and 

 Limenitis^ appear to be too closely allied to be worth separating 

 as distinct sections. What Schatz calls the " median spur " 

 is a short spur-like branch from the base of the median 

 nervure of the fore-wings, not a spine, nor a frenulum.
