ttus (Fig. 438). Veins Ills and III* oi the 

 fore wings separate from each other, p. 357. 



[See also LLL.] LACOSOMID^E. 



LLL. The basal part of the subcosta of the 

 hind wings making a prominent bend into 

 the humeral angle of the wing (Fig. 327); 

 veins Ills and III 4 coalesced to near the 

 apex of the wing. In most cases, moths 

 with a slender abdomen, and with rather 

 broad, delicate wings, which are finely 



scaled, p. 270 GEOMETRINA. 



KK. Vein V 3 of the fore wings more closely 

 joined to cubitus than to radius ; cubitus be- 

 ing in most cases apparently four-branched. 

 L. Small moths with the apex of the fore 

 wings sickle-shaped, p. 289. . DREPANID^E. 

 LL. Apex of the fore wings not sickle-shaped. 

 M. Small moths with snow-white wings, in 

 which the subcosta of the hind wings ex- 

 tends distinct from radius to a point be- 

 yond the discal cell where the two are 

 united for a greater or less distance (Fig. 



344). p. 288 AUZATID^E. 



MM. The subcosta of the hind wings ex- 

 tending distinct from the radius, or the 

 two joined for a very short distance, near 

 the base of the wing. [See also MMM.J 

 N. Chiefly day-flying moths that are 

 either black with large, white or yellow, 

 rounded patches upon the wings, or 

 have the front wings white, margined 

 with brown, and the hind wings pale 

 yellow^ 



O. Cubitus of hind wings apparently 

 four-branched (Fig. 384). p. 316 



PERICOPID^;. 



OO. Cubitus of hind wings apparently 

 three-branched (Fig. 379). p. 313. 



AGARISTID^E. 



NN. Not such moths as are described 

 under N. 

 O. Antennae pectinate.
