Six perfect legs in both sexes. Discoidal cells 

 of wings perfectly closed. Pupa seemed by the tail 

 and a girdle across the middle. 



Under the name of Papilio, Lhmams ori- 

 ginally grouped as one genus all the day-flying 

 Lepidoptera ; the name is now usually restricted 

 to one very large genus, which perhaps, from 

 the size and diversilormity of its species, is the 

 best known of any of the Rhopalocera, It like- 

 wise now dictates the construction of the above 

 family name, which comprises the two well- 

 marked and extensive subfamilies IHerinm and 

 l*tip'dh>uiiM, both of which from the variety ami beauty of bfcfi butterflies w indi are thus 

 divisionally classified, have long been the pride of the amateur's collection, and the admiration 

 of all lovers of Nature, 



Another result of their handsome appearance is that they are better known by name 

 or individuality than most other butterflies, and consequently observations made by non- 

 entomological observers can be with some degree of certainty connected with the true species, 

 which is more than can be said for many other insects thus referred to, by which the value * 

 of numerous entomological facts and observations recorded in books of travel is frequently 

 destroyed.
