Aftei- this detail of the families into which the authors of the Wiener Verzeichnis 

 have divided the Linnaeati genus Papilio, I add, in justice to them, the following 

 quotation from page 196, which shews clearly that they considered these families as 

 representatives of genera. " Unsre Jamilien werden vielleicht fur das, was im 

 Pflenzenreiche die Gattungen sind, schicMich gelten konnen" Our families will, per- 

 haps, properly represent the same which the genera do in botany ! Let us now 

 examine how this remark applies to the genera which are (almost universally) 

 admitted at the present period ; I request the reader to refer to the families above 

 enumerated. 

 Fam. A. represents the genus Hesperia. (See Ochsenh. Schmett. von Europa, vol. 



iv. p. 33.) 

 Fam. B. represents the genus Doritis. (See Ochsenh. Schmett. von Europa, ibid. 



p. 29.)
