The chrysalids also re8emi)le those of the genus Pic-is in their general form, but the back has less prominent angulations on the middle of the thorax and the sides of the abdomen, the frontal projection is less marked, and the color is darker and generally more uniform. One of the ten fossil butterflies known from the European tcrtiaries (Pierites freyeri Ileer) belongs with very little doubt to this genus, and witii one exception is the sole representative of the tribe known from the ancient world.
