LEPIDOPTERA. 211 



II. Some of the branches of radius or of media 

 either wanting or grown together beyond the 

 discal cell. 



J. Hind wings with subcosta and radius appar- 

 ently distinct but connected by a strong oblique 

 cross vein (Fig. 407). Moths of medium or 

 large size, with spindle-shaped bodies, narrow, 

 strong wings, and usually with the antennae 

 prismatic in form, and more or less thickened 

 in the middle or towards the tip, which is fre- 

 quently recurved in the form of a hook (Hawk- 

 moths), p. 329 SPHINGID^E. 



JJ. Subcosta and radius of hind wings either dis- 

 tinct or grown together; but not appearing to 

 be connected by a strong, oblique cross vein. 

 K. Vein V 2 of the fore wings not more closely 

 joined to cubitus than to radius, cubitus being 

 apparently three-branched. 

 L. The basal part of the subcosta of the hind 

 wings extending from the base towards the 

 apex of the wing in a regular curve. Moths 

 resembling Noctuids in form ; i.e., with a 

 large abdomen and with rather narrow, 

 strong, and coarsely-scaled fore wings. 

 M. Vein V 2 of the hind wings arising much 

 nearer to cubitus than to radius ; vein Vi 

 of the hind wings joined to radius at a 

 considerable distance before the apex of 

 the discal cell (Fig. 349). p. 291. 



CYMATOPHORID.E. 



MM. Vein V 2 of the hind wings either 

 wanting or present, but when present 

 arising either midway between radius 

 and cubitus, or nearer to radius than to 

 cubitus; vein Vi of the hind wings joined 

 to radius at or beyond the apex of the 

 discal cell (Fig 311). p. 263. 



NOTODONTIDJE. 



LL. The basal part of the subcosta of the 

 hind wings joined to radius for a consider- 

 able distance and then making a prominent 

 bend towards the costal margin, as in Cicin-
