Subfamily: Urbicolin^e. 

 Tribe : Urbicolidi. 



There are two British representatives of this tribe in Britain, viz., 

 Aiu/iades sylvanus and Urbicola con) ma. Their eggs are entirely 

 different from those of the Thymeiicids, and their larvae are of more 

 distinctly "skipper" build, the neck being more constricted, somewhat 

 after the manner of the larvae of the Hesperiids. The pupa, too, is 

 markedly different, lacking the tapering nose-horn (with its attendant 

 hooks) and the abdominal segments, though tapering, are not so 

 slender as those of the Thymelicid pupa. 



Barbut's action in 1781 (Gen. Ins. Linn., p. 173) in citing- comma, 

 Linne, no. 256, as the typical example of I'rhicola, constitutes this 

 the typical section of the superfamily. He notes of the final Lmnean 

 subdivision of Papilio :

Under the name Augiadae, the tribe was diagnosed by Hiibner 

 (Verzeichniss, p. 112) as:

The imagines arc, in this tribe, much Larger and of heavier build 

 than those of the Thymeiicids, the forewings more pointed towards the 

 apex, owing to the rapid slope of the outer margin to the anal angle; 

 the androconial patch is larger, the fold more open, and usually 

 followed beneath by an area of ereel scales. The general features of 

 tin tribe are given by Speyer (Can, Entom., x., pp. 151-2) as follows; 



Club of antenna ovate or elongated, at the end more or less curved into a
