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. 
Pieris, Schr.—Pontia, Fab. 
Where the inferior palpi are almost cylindrical, and slightly 
compressed, with the last at least almost as long as the preceding; 
the club of the antennz is ovoid(3). 
Cotas, Fab. e 
Where that club forms an elongated and reversed cone, and the 
inferior palpi are strongly compressed, with the last joint much 
shorter than the preceding one(4). 
In the other Papilios of the same division—7etrapoda—the two 
anterior legs are much shorter than the others, folded, non-ambula-
