Notes . — 1 have followed tieiiz in adopting the above order and naniesj 
English authors place the Papilionidie and Pieridte after the Erycinidae; treat the 
Danaidee, Satyridae, AmathusiidtB and Nymphalidae as subfamilies of one family, 
the Nymphalidie ; call the Amathusiidse, the Morpbidse and the Erycinidas, the 
Nemeobidae or Riodinidte. The Hesperiidse are s< metimes treated as a separate 
suborder under the name Grypocera, the remainder of the Butterflies being the 
Rhopalocera.
