Group I.— SUCCINCTI, Boisd. 
CliiTsalis attached hy the tail and hy a silken hand round the 
middle which supports it in an uprigdit position. This group 
contains four families.

2. PiERina?. 4. Erycinid^. 
Group II.— SUSPENSE Boisd. 
C'hrysalis suspended hy the tail alone. Five families are 
included in this group. 
5. Libytheid.e. 7. Nymphalid^. 
G. ApATURinm. 8. UANAiniE. 
0. SATYRinm. 
Group III. — INVOLUTI, Boisd. 
Chrysalis enclosed in a slight cocoon. Contains one family. 
10. Hesperid^e. 
It would have heen perhaps more correct to have placed 
Group I. hetweeii the others, and to have inverted the order of the 
families, thus hriugiug into closer relation the natural affinities of 
the groups. But as this is not of primary importance I have 
preferred to keep to the arrangement used by Staudinger.
