TETRAPTERA. 
Clafs the Fourth . 
LEPIDOPTERA. 
Infects which have four wings, and thofe all opake, and covered with a 
fine duft, which, when examined hy the microjcope, is found to be com- 
pofed of regidar fcales, commonly called feathers. The mouth or trunk 
in this clafs is ufually fpiral. 
T HIS clafs comprehends the Butterflies and Moths, the Papiliones and Phakena; 
of authors. The fpecies are very numerous, and, after they are arranged into 
two genera, according to this diftin&ion, the Papilio and Phalasna, they may be di¬ 
vided into feveral other fets, according to certain obvious diftin&ions. 
PAPILIO. 
T H E antennas of the Papilio are of a clavated form. 
Of the fpecies of this genus fome have four, others have fix legs j they may 
be arranged therefore, according to this diftindion, into two divifions: of each of 
thefe divifions we fhall defcribe three fpecies, after which the others will be eafily di- 
ftinguifhed by their names.
