Butterflies 1

A. Butterflies in which the cubitus is apparently fourbranched; and in which the anal area of the hind wings is more reduced than the anal area of the fore wings, as in the fore wings there are always two anal veins, and usually all three are at least partially preserved, while in the hind wings there is only a single anal vein (Fig. 25).

B. The outer margin of the hind wings rounded, without a tail-like prolongation. (Parnassiide), p. 42.
