392 INDIAN BUTTERFLIES IN THE TRURO MUSEUM. 



Briefly, in our Museum collection we have of Family I, 

 JSfymphalidce, butterflies with genera shewing mimicry of one 

 another and of plant forms on which they rest or feed, forty 

 genera and eighty-three species. Family II, Lemoniidce, one 

 genus and one species. Family III, Lyccenidce, to which 

 our English Coppers, Blues, and Hairstreaks belong, eleven 

 genera and eleven species. Family IV, Papilionidce, which 

 includes our White Cabbage Butterflies, Brimstones, Clouded 

 Yellows, Orange Tips, and Swallow-tails, eleven genera and 

 thirty-four species. Family V, Sesperiidce, or Skippers, nine 

 genera and eleven species, altogether, seventy-two genera, and 

 one hundred and forty species. Such a preponderance of generic 

 forms among so few species is of great interest to the reflective 

 student.
