In the table I have omitted Phyciodes which I think is not sufficiently 
distinct from Alitaea and Grapta which is equal to Vanessa. I have 
added a number of genera usually omitted in lists of our fauna and which 
indeed may not belong to it; Mr. Strecker catalogues them and usually 
auct Reakirt but Mr. Edwards does not include them in his list. The 
differences between the genera are very small indeed if structure be alone 
referred to, and the genera are more usually identified by their markings. 
An Argynnis once seen will be always Known and the closely allied 
génera are recognized by color peculiarities more easily than by their 
scientific or systematic characters. 
The Satyrinae have also a very good representation here and they 
may be recognized as follows, 
Wings elongate, primaries with greatly produced apices and oblique outer margin, 
Middle tibia scarcely half as long as femur...........-.......-...... Hipparchia.. 
Middle tibia‘more than half as long as femur....................5..)05 Chionobas. 
Wings more rounded, apices of primaries not produced. 
Three principal nervures of primaries inflated at base............ -Coenonympha. 
Not more than two veins inflated. :

Middle tibia without spines or with but a few small weak spinules. 
Veins of primaries suddenly and greatly inflated. 
Margin of secondaries slightly dentate or waved................ Satyrus.
