. The animal kingdom, arranged after its organization, forming a natural history of animals, and an introduction to comparative anatomy. Zoology. LEPIDOPTERA. 60? Pavonia, God., has the central cell of the hind wings closed, and the innermost nerve of the fore wings curved like an S. One of the species, P. Pkidippus, from the East Indies, with the hind wings tailed, is the type of the genus Amathusia, Fabr. The following have the discoidal cell of the hind wings closed behind. Brassolis, Fab., has the antennae suddenly clubbed, and the palpi short; the males have a longitudinal slit at the inner edge of the hind wings, covered with hair. Eumenia, God., with the palpi longer, and the antennae at a short distance from the base, gradually thickening, and forming an elongated mass. Eurybia, Illig., has short palpi, but they are thicker, and the club of the antennas is fusiform and bent. Satyrus, Latr. [Hipparehia, Fabr., and of English authors], has the palpi extending beyond the clypeus, very compressed, the antennae terminated by a small club, or by a slender elong- ated mass ; the two or three basal nerves of the fore-wings are swollen. The caterpillars are naked, or nearly smooth, with the extremity of the body forked. The chrysalides are bifid in front, and the back is tubercled. [This is a very numerous British genus, the majority of which are ornamented with eye- like spots. Such are Pap. Galathea, Janira, Algeria, &c] We terminate this first section of the diurnal Lepi- doptera by those which have the palpi 3-jointed, hut the third joint is nearly naked, and much less clothed with Fig. (Hipparchia) Pampi,iiu9. sca]es than the preceding; the tarsal claws are very minute. The caterpillars are oval, or like Wood-lice. The chrysalides are short, entire, and always attached by a thread round the middle of the body, like those of Papilio or Pieris. Linnaeus united them in his Papiliones plebeii, and division Rurales. They are the G. Argus of Lamarck,
