nelaus (n° i), the achilles (n° 4), iaertes (n° 8), 

 hecuba (n° r4), and idomeneus (n° 21). The spe- 

 cies from n os 477 to 556 have been collectively 

 designated by the denominations of pearled and 

 chequered: the heliconii are distinguished by 

 their their graceful forms. In the beautiful di- 

 vision of the equites, or butterflies properly so
