After this detail of the families into which the authors of the Wiener Verzeichnis 

 have divided the Linnasan 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 familien werden vielleicht fur das, was im 

 PflenzenreicJie die Gattungen sind, schicklich gelten h'dnnen." 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.) 

 Fam. C. represents the genus Papilio. (See Ochsenh, Schmett. von Europa, ibid. 



p. 28.) 

 Fam. D. represents the genus Pontia. (See Ochsenh. Schmett. von Europa, ibid. p. 



30.) 

 Fam. E. represents the genus Colias, and the first section indicates the genus Gonep- 



teryx of Dr. Leach. (See Ochsenh. Schmett. von Europa, vol. iv. p. 31 and 32.) 

 Fam. F. represents the genus Hipparchia, and its various subdivisions. (See Ochsenh. 



Schmett. von Europa, vol. iv. p. 19, &c.) 

 Fam. G. represents the genus Apatura. (See Ochsenh. Schmett. von Europa, vol. iv. 



p. 19.) 

 Fam. H. represents the genus Limenitis. (See Ochsenh. Schmett. von Europa, vol. 



iv. p. 17.) 

 Fam. I. represents the genus Vanessa. (See Ochsenh. Schmett. von Europa vol iv 



p. 16.)

 Fam. L. represents the genus Meliteea. (See Ochsenh. Schmett. von Europa vol iv 



p. 13.) 



The last section of this genus comprises the Melitaea Lucina of Ochsenh, the 



Papilio
