176 DR. R. VERITY : REVISION OF THE 



ii. p. 242 (1785), cannot be adopted, because its description gives no clue as 

 to what generation the type belonged. In consequence, a name must be 

 ■created, and I propose that of 7;ernus. 



As regards the Hispano-Africau species, it will be found useful to 

 maintain the name feisthameli, Duponchel, whose original figure represents 

 the Spanish summer brood, to distinguish it from the nimotypical African 

 race, quite distinct from it in all the broods (see Synopsis of Alterations at 

 "the end of this note). 



*Papilio machaon [1758]. The specimen, which is certainly Linnean 

 and which bears his label, is a female of the first (or only) brood of a northern 

 race, as may be inferred by its light yellow ground-colour, short tails, and 

 narrow transverse bands, with their inner contour undulating but not pro- 

 •duced in sharp dents. Another specimen, of doubtful origin, is certainly 

 •southern, and a third is a British specimen from the Smith collection. 



Thais rumina [1758]. No Linnean specimen. 



*Paenassius APOLLO [1758]. No specimen bears a Linnean label 'but 

 ■everything points to the fact that one of the three specimens in the collection 

 was Linnrean. It is a female of large size of the Scandinavian race. Two 

 smore specimens, from Italy, are Smith's. 



*Parnassius MNEMOSYNE [1758]. A male and a female, the first of which 

 is labelled by Linnaeus. These two specimens evidently come from the same 

 Ilocality ; they are of a large, very white race, with the black markings much 

 reduced and no white patches in the vitreous marginal band. They probably 

 '■come from Finland, which locality Liniigeus gives as only habitat in his 

 original description; but, as he adds Hungary in the XII. edit, of the Syst. 

 Nat., I could not certify these specimens are not Hungarian, owing to the 

 resemblance of certain individuals of the two races. At all events, it seems 

 ^plausible to consider the northern race as nimotypical f. 



*Aporia crat^gi [1758]. One male specimen labelled by Linneeus is 

 distinctly of Scandinavian origin ; the other English specimen is not 

 Linnean. 



*PiERis DAPLIDICE [1758]. The specimen, which is obviously Linnean 

 and bears his own label, is a female of the summer brood ; another female 

 and a male are probably from Linnseus's collection as M^ell. They all three 

 belong to the large European race, with the black markings widespread and 

 their outlines diffused and with broad and vividly green markings on the 

 underside, contrasting with the form or race, as the case may be, nitida^ 

 Verity.
