belonging to the first ten families, and the commeneement of a* 
systematic index of the species. The tables are disfigured by 
numerous abbreviations, or rather by the use of initial letters,

the " Correspondenz-Blatt,^^ an arrangement which is exceed- 
ingly inconvenient, and cannot be of any great typograpliical 
advantage. The table of families is as follows (abridged) : 
I. Pupa suspended by posterior extremity; imago with undeveloped fore legs. 
1. Median cell of hind wings extending furthest on 4th, 6th, or 7th vein, 
closed ; vein 8th of fore wings running into the margin or the 
rounded apex. 
A. Basal veins of the fore wings not inflated. 
a. Hind wings with no basal cell .... 1. Heliconina. 
b. Hind wings with a narrow basal cell 2. Danaina. 
c. Hind wings with a large basal cell . . 3. Brassolina. 
B. Basal veins of fore wings all or partly inflated. 
a. Hind wings with a narrow basal cell 4. JBiina, H.S.

«. Costal of hind wings reapproaching the subcostal beyond 
the origin of the postcostal ; dorsal of fore wings forked 
towards base 6. Heterrina^ H.S. 
Costal of hind wings constantly renmving from subcostal; 
dorsal of fore wings not forked 6. Satyrina a. 
2. Median cell of hind wings projecting furthest at the common point of 
origin of veins 3 & 4, or open.

Median cell of hind wings open ; branch 8 of fore wings running into 
anterior margin 11. Lihytheina. 
HI. Pupa suspended by the tail and fastened by a thread round the middle ; 
fore legs undeveloped in S ) median cells of all wings closed.

branches 4 & 6 13. Lyccenina. 
B. Hind wings with a postcostal ; median cell extending furthest 
upon branch 4 . 14. Pieridina.
