It will be found that Licinia is the connecting genus be-tween those of Daiiais and Pieris, of Latreille, and that thetransition between the last of these and Colias is stronglymarked by that of Terias, (ZooL 111. pi. 22). What with the inaccuracy of figures, and the almost uni-versal neglect with which the most eminent entomologistshave passed over this beautiful order, the natural arrangementand affinities of the Lepidoptera still remain in the greatestobscurity; and it is recommended to those who may objectto the additional generic distinctions I have made, to examine,in the first instance, the relative validity they beal in essentialcharacter to the innumerable genera that are continuallycreated in the Cohoptera, Hi/menoptera, and Dipt
