A notable genus of butterflies: a name variously used. (a) By Linnæus (1758), for all butterflies then known: equivalent to Rhopalocera. (b) By Fabric i us (1793), for butterflies of Philenor Swallowtail ( Papilio philenor ), half natural size. the families Nymphalidæ and Papilio nidæ. (c) By Schrank (1801), for the Nymphalidæ alone. ( d ) By Latreille (1805), for the Papilio nidæ alone. West wood (1840) gives the Euro near the tail. The genus thus defined is of world-wide distribution, with about 350 species. The common yellow and black butterfly of North America, P. turn us, is a good example. Another is the common swallow-tailed butterfly of Europe, P. machaon, with long antennæ, very short palpi, and the hind wings tailed. This species expands about three and one half inches, is yellow and black, with a red spot at the anal angle. Some of the papilios are giants, as P. anti mach us of Africa, expanding about eight inches. See Equites, 2, and also cut under Pa pilionidæ. nor Swallowtail ( Papilio philenor). 3.

See pal a, 2.- Circumvallate or calyciform papillæ. See circumvallate. - Conical or filiform papillæ, minute conical, tapering, or cylindrical papillæ, densely set over the greater part of the dorsum of the tongue, and terminating usually in a tuft of simple papillæ, whose horny epithelial covering forms hair-like proce es. These proce es give the tongue its furred or velvety appearance. Also called papillæ minimæ. See cut under tongue. - Engorged papilla. See engorge. Foliate papillæ, small folds of mucous membrane on the sides of the tongue, immediately in front of the anterior pillar of the palate. - Fungiform papillæ, papillæ intermediate in size and number between the circumvallate and the conical papillæ, scattered over the dorsum of the tongue, but more numerous along the sides and at the tip. They are deep-red in color and of rounded form, and are narrowed at their attachment like a mushroom, whence the name. See cut under tongue. - Gustatory papillæ, the papillæ of taste - the circumvallate, the fungiform, and the conical papillæ. See cut under tongue.
