dart, are setaceous and plumous(1). Those of the Zepuyrius, Dalm., 
are terminated by ten or twelve globular joints separated like the 
beads of a rosary(2). 
2. The second section of the Diurnal Lepidoptera is composed of 
species in which the posterior tibiz have two pairs of spines, one 
at their extremity, and the other above; such also is the case in the 
two following families. The inferior wings are usually horizontal 
when at rest, and the extremity of their antenne very often forms a 
strongly hooked point. 
Their caterpillars, of which however but few are yet known, bend 
leaves together, and spin an extremely thin cocoon of silk (in the 
cavity), in which they become chrysalides; the latter are smooth or 
without angular elevations. 
These Lepidoptera form the Plebei, Urbicole of Linnzus, or 
the Papillons estropiés of Geoffroy. Fabricius united them to 4rgus 
by the generic name of Hesperia, but we must also refer to this sec- 
tion certain exotic Lepidoptera, called pages by the amateurs, of 
which the original habitat had not hitherto been well ascertained: 
such are the Uraniz of Fabricius. These various Lepidoptera lead 
to our second family. 
They compose two subgenera: 
Hesperia, Fab. 
Or the P. plebei urbicole of Linnzus in which the termination of 
the antennz is distinctly globuliform or clavate, and the inferior 
palpi are short, broad, and densely covered with scales anteriorly. 
H. malvz, Fab.; Rees., Insect. CL, 2, x. Wings dentated, 
blackish-brown above, spotted and speckled with white, the 
posterior margin marked with spots of the latter colour; inferior 
surface of the wings greenish-grey with irregular and similar 
spots. 
The caterpillar is elongated, grey, with a black head, and 
four yellow points on the neck or first ring which is narrowed, 
a character peculiar to the larve of this subgenus. It lives on 
the Malvacez, bends their leaves together and there undergoes 
its metamorphosis. The chrysalis is black but sprinkled with 
bluish(3).
