lated spots, bordered with a red circle and a black one, on the 
inferior wings. 
The caterpillar lives on the Sedum telephium, on the Sazi- 
fraga, &c. It is of a velvet-black with a series of red dots on 
each side, and another on the back. The chrysalis is rounded, 
of a blackish green sprinkled with white or bluish *. 
Tuais, Fab. 
The palpi of the Parnassii, but the terminal button of the antennze 
elongated and curved ; no corneous pouch at the posterior extremity 
of the abdomen of the female. 
The caterpillars, as it appears, have no retractile tentaculum. 
The species are peculiar to the south of Europe, and some of 
them to the mountains f. 
There, the inferior wings project under the abdomen ,forming a 
groove for it. 
The caterpillars have no tentaculum. Several live on the Cruci- 
gere. 
These Lepidoptera—P. Danai candidi, L.—form two subgenera, 
Preris, Schr —PontiA, Fab., 
Where the inferior palpi are almost cylindrical, and slightly com- 
pressed, with the last at least almost as long as the preceding; the 
club of the antennze is ovoid f. 
Couias, Fab., 
Where that club forms an elongated and reversed cone, and the infe- 
rior palpi are strongly compressed, with the last joint much shorter 
than the preceding one §. 
In the other Papilios of the same division—Teltrapodo—the two 
anterior legs are much shorter than the others, folded, non-ambula- 
tory in both sexes, and sometimes in the males only. The chrysalis 
is simply suspended vertically by the posterior extremity. 
Sometimes the anterior legs, though folded and smaller than the 
others, differ from them but little. The inferior wings, of which 
the central cell is always closed posteriorly, but slightly clasp the 
abdomen in most of them. The inferior palpi are distant, slender, 
cylindrical, and generally very short. All the subgenera of this sub- 
division are foreign to Europe. 
We distinguish the Danaides—Danais; Huploea, Fab.; part of the 
_£. danai festivi, L.—by their triangular wings and their antenne 
terminated by a kind of elongated and curved button ||; the Idea— 
IpEA, Fab.—by their almost oval and elongated wings, and nearly

such as the P. brassica, L., P. rapa, L., P. napi, L., P. daplidice, L., P. sinapis, L., 
P. cardumines, L., &e., nearly all of which appear early in the spring.
