pars (subfamily Libythzinz of Kirby’s catalogue, 1871). It in- 
cludes twenty-three genera, among which are several established 
by Hubner in 1816, but to which our species had not hitherto been 
referred, as (Eneis, Enodia, Minois, Megisto, Doxocopa and Poly- 
gonia. Under Nymphalis is placed Vanessa J-album, as an inter- 
mediate form between those which we have recognized as Vanessa 
and Grapta. Vanessa Antiopa is made the type of the restricted 
Linnean genus Papilio, while Vanessa is retained for Atalanta, 
huntera and cardui. Argynnis embraces Cybele, Aphrodite and 
lantis,—a new genus, Speyeria, being established for Idalia, 
with Myrina and Bellona assigned to Brenthis of Hübner. Out 
Melitzeas are grouped in four genera as Phyciodes Tharos and 
Phy. Batesii, Charidryas Nycteis, Limnecia Harrisii, and Euphy- 
dryas Phaeton — the last three generic groups being new. We 
miss the original genus Melitea, the reason of which is not evi- 
dent, but we presume that it has been retained for such European 
forms as Maturna, Didyma, Parthenie, Artemis, ete. Our Limeni- 
tides Disippe, ursula (= Proserpina Edw.) and Arthemis being 
distinct from the European forms are assigned to the new genus 
Basilarchia. Danais [Danius], Junonia, Euptoieta and Libythea 
remain as before. 
The family RURALES is a subdivision of the Linnæan group 
Presen consisting of the smaller butterflies, of which those 
marked with dark spots were denominated Rurales and those with 
pellucid spots Urbicole. It is equivalent to the Erycinide and 
Polyommatide of Swainson’s system, to the Erycinidw and Lycæn- 
ide (Leach) of Westwood, Lemoniide pars and Lycaenidae a 
Kirby’s catalogue. We note the following disposition of material 
in this family :
