THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
expressed in the last number of the 
“ Entomologist,” we now g-ive some 
further notes from this little work. 
We shall probably refer to it yet 
again. 
After the table published in our 
last number, Mr. Kirby, proceeds to 
enumerate the genera known in 
Europe, remarking on their extra 
European limits. We give some 
specimens. 
“ Genus Papilio. 
F. Machaon ranges from Sweden 
on the north to Egypt on the south, 
and from England on the west to 
Kamtschatka on the east, and, like 
so many of the East Asian species, 
also occurs in California. P. Poda- 
lirius occurs over the greater portion 
of Europe, and likewise occurs in 
North Africa, and Western Asia, 
which would appear to be the limits 
of its range. P. Hospiton, a species 
closely allied to Machaon, but per- 
fectly distinct, is confined to Corsica 
and Sardinia.” 
“ Genus Aporia. 
A. Cratcegi ranges eastward to 
Amoorland.” 
“ Genus Leucophasia. 
This genus demands special notice, 
as it is a moot point whether the five 
described species are really good 
species, or merely varieties. Pre- 
mising’ that the typical L. Sinapis 
occurs commonly from England to 
Amoorland, I shall give as conclu- 
sively as possible, the characters of 
these disputed forms, without ven- 
turing to pronounce any opinion of 
my own.” 
L. Sinapis (L). White, with an 
ash-coloured apical blotch, reaching 
quite to the tip of the fore-wing ; 
hind-wings beneath, with extensive 
dusky green markings. 
L. IHniensis {Bd). Diffei’S from 
Sinapis in the apical blotch not ex- 
tending to the tip of the fore-wing ; 
the hind-wings are almost immacu- 
late beneath. Occurs in England 
and France. 
L. Erysimi (Bkh.) This form 
which is now allowed on all hands 
to be a variety, is enth’ely without 
the apical blotch. Same localities. 
L. Lathyri (Hub.) Differs from all 
the rest in the base of the wings 
being yellowish. Underside of the 
hind-wings greenish, with two white 
spots. Occurs in France and Ger- 
many. 
L. Amur en sis (Men.) Differs from 
the other forms in the shape of the 
wings, which arc less rounded, and 
in other minor particulars. This 
form replaces Sinapis in the more 
southern parts of Amoorland, and I 
believe, is also met with in Europe.”
