TRIBE OF LEPIDOPTERA, THE PAPILIONIDiE. 



61 



PERFECT INSECT. 

 Antennje, filiform at the base, with a club 

 rising abruptly at the extremity, in the typi- 

 cal species broad and compressed, and in 

 one of the subdivisions orbiculate. 

 Palpi, with the basal and second joints broad 

 and robust, covered with hair and beset 

 underneath with long straggling bristles, 

 the third joint projecting beyond the head, 

 covered with down ; converging in the typi- 

 cal species and forming a rostellum or beak: 

 a tuft of long hair at the extremity of the 

 second joints. 



Wings, erect in the resting insect : anterior 

 win"s narrow and greatly expanded, with 

 anaulated, scalloped, or deeply indented mar- 

 gins ; posterior wings with a deep abdomi- 

 nal groove, entire or dentated, rarely with 

 short, acute caudal appendages; : nervures 

 distinct : discoidal areola closed. 



Abdomen, either slender and compressed, 

 or, in the typical group, robust and ab- 

 breviated. 



Proboscis, long and robust. 



Flight, strong and rapid. 



Feet, intermediate and posterior, terminated 

 by claws and pulvilli with membranaceous, 

 pubescent, bifid appendages at their base: 

 anterior feet spurious and imperfect. 



Feet, anterior as in the last stirps. 



Antenna, filiform, surpassing in proportion- 

 ate length these organs in all other stirpes of 

 this tribe ; club slender. 



Palpi, curved, ascending, with the third joint 

 naked, compressed, and rising above the 

 head. 



Wings, generally of a brown colour, and, in 

 many species, adorned with a brilliant gloss 

 of blue and pre-eminently marked with large 

 ornamental ocelli appearing often on both 

 surfaces ; with the greatest expansion from 

 the anterior lo the posterior margin, or in the 

 direction of the body of the insect : hinder 

 wings, with a deep abdominal groove, en- 

 tirerdentated, or produced to a short round 

 point. Discoidal areola not uniformly closed. 



Abdomen, short ; the male of some species 

 provided with fascicles of long silky hairs. 



Proboscis, of moderate length and size. 



Flight, slow.
