e Threads of the Antennae. 



f Spiral Tongue or Maxillae. 



g Thorax.

I Tips or Apices of the fore wings 



m Sector Edge. 



n Fringes or ciliae.

t Outer Corners of the hind ditto 



u Abdominal Edges. 



m Anus. 



x Ocelli or eye-like spots 



y Bar, Band, or Garter. 



A Superior Wing angulated. 



B Superior Wing, smooth or even edged. 



C Inferior Wing scalloped. 



D Inferior Wing indenticulated. 



The Interior or discoidal Parts of the Superior Wing 

 described. 



The parts coloured Green, are the Fan Tendons, and 

 Membranes, marked in numerical order; viz, 1st, 

 2nd, 3rd, &c. 



Papiliones have only five of these Membranes, and six 

 Tendons. 



The parts coloured with Pale Crimson, are the Tables. 



The Pale Blue, shows the Sectors. 



Shoulder Membrane — Yellow. 



Slip Membrane — Pale Orange. 



Long Membrane— Pale Indian Ink. 



The parts coloured Purple, are the Sector Tendons 

 and Membranes, and it is in this part of the Wing 

 only wherein one Genus differs from another. 



The Grand Tendons are coloured deep Red, and are 

 three in number ; viz. 



7 Long Tendon, "^ 



8 Principal Tendon, \ Grand Tendons. 



9 Shoulder Tendon, J 



10 Table Tendon. 



11 Slip Edge. 



12 Bar Tendon. 



Interior or discoidal Parts of the Irferior Wing 

 described. 



Green, shews the Fan Tendons, and Membranes, which 

 are the same in number as in the Superior Wings. 



Pale Crimson, shews the Table Membrane. 



Blue. The Sector 



Yellow. Table Membrane or Bent, ditto. 



Pale Indian Ink. Long Membrane. 



Pale Orange. Acute Membrane. 



Deep Red. Grand Tendons, three in number; viz. 



15 Posterior Tendon, ^ 



16 Table Tendon, \ Grand Tendons. 



17 Bent or Femoral Tendon, j 



18 Spur ; this part answers to that little instrument in 

 the Phalcenae, called the Spring. 



13 Abdominal Tendon. 



14 Long Tendon. 



It is worthy of remark, that although the several parts 

 of the Inferior Wings greatly correspond with the respec- 

 tive parts of the Superior, yet here are no parts answerable 

 to the Sector Tendons and Membranes, and which are 

 distinguished with purple in the Superior ; but Providence 

 seems to have supplied that deficiency, if I may call it 

 one, by adding another on the opposite edge of the wing, 

 called The Abdominal Membrane, and which is co- 

 loured Purple.
