HORJE HAWORTHIAM, 
By W. F. Kikby Esq. 
Paet III. 
Haworth proceeds to give the char- 
acters of the Linn man groups of Pa- 
pilio, which I shall simply enumerate 
giving the modern groups which he 
refers to, — at least as far as British 
Insects are concerned. 
“ * * Fquites Achivi ( Papilio ) 
* * Parnassii ( Aporia ) 
* * * Danai Candidi (Pierides except 
Aporia.) 
f Alice, ( Pieris, Leucophasia) 
f f Flavce ( Colias ) 
Iff Sulphurece ( Gonepteryx ) 
* * * * Danai Pestivi ( Coenonympha 
and Hipparchia Hyperanthus ) 
* * * * * Nymphales Gemmati (Va- 
nessa Io, Apatura, Pyrameis Cardui, 
and all the Hipparchiae except those 
mentioned above ) 
* * * * * * Nymphales Phalerati 
j- Laciniatce (Grapta and Vanessa 
except Io ) 
f f Dentatce (Pyrameis Atalanta and 
Limenitis ) 
fff Fritillarice ( Argynnides and 
Nemeobius ) 
j Argentece ( Argynnis J 
J | Albicantes ^Melitaea and Nemeo- 
bius ) 
* ****** Pleleii Rurales (Lycse- 
nidse) 
f Caudat® ( Thecla )' 
f f Cuprece ( Chrysophanus ) 
t f f Ccerulece ( Polyommatus ) 
| Multipunctatce ( The great bulk of 
the genus J 
J X Paucipunctatce ( Argiolus, Alsus 
Acis ) 
******** Pleleii Urlicoli [» ?] 
( Hesperidae ) ” 
The subdivisions are Haworths’ and 
on the Avhole do him great credit. 
The primary Linnaean divisions are 
not always natural and Haworth him- 
self remarks in a Note, “The Nymph- 
ales Gemmati and Phalerati are so 
closely allied in some instances as to 
create a difficulty in separating them : 
e. g. Pap. Atalanta is to the full as 
much an ocellated species as it is an 
inocellated one : nevertheless it is 
placed by Linnaeus and others amongst 
the Phalerati which ought to be in- 
ocellated. The most natural mode if 
not the most convenient of arranging 
the British Nymphales , would be from 
the outline of their wings, paying no 
regard to their being ocellated or not, 
as follows — 1 . alts angulati-laciniatis 
2. alls dentatis ; and subdivide ad 
colorem.” 
[If any of our readers feel inclined 
to critize the Latin in this or any other 
No. of the “ Horax Haworthianae” we 
beg leave to say that we have Mr. 
Kirby’s authority for informing them 
that Haworth or his printers are alone 
responsible for it. The conjectural 
emendations are our own. Ed. W.E.]
