bb. Prolegs always present, when reduced represented by at least 

 rudimentary crochets. 

 c. Body bearing neither tufted nor secondary setae; prolegs not 

 bearing more than four setae (pi, nu, tau, and sigma) (Fig. 

 101), except that there may be five when crochets are arranged 

 in a multiserial circle ; mu never a verruca, never associated with 

 additional subprimaries. 

 d. Crochets never arranged in a pseudocircle (Fig. 97) or meso- 

 series (Fig. 105), usually in a circle (Fig. 101) or penellipse 

 (Fig. 98) or transverse bands (Fig. 99) ; epsilon on pro- 

 thorax always below alpha and gamma (Fig. 7). 

 e. Prolegs of sixth abdominal segment absent or without cro- 

 chets; larvae small, leaf-miners. GRACILARIIDAE 

 66. Prolegs of sixth abdominal segment as well developed as

 f. Kappa group on prothorax bisetose, theta absent (Fig. 

 43) ; crochets never multiserial. 

 g. Crochets uniordinal, arranged in a complete circle ; body 

 cylindrical; Pi group on mesothorax unisetose. 



ORNEODIDAE 

 gg. Crochets biordinal (Figs. 98, 101), except when body 

 is spindle-shaped and very fleshy and when Pi group on 

 mesothorax is bisetose (Fig. 50). PYRALIDIDAE 

 ff. Kappa group on prothorax trisetose, theta present (Fig. 

 39).

 h. Crochets arranged either in a single transverse row or 

 in two multiserial bands on each proleg,

 each proleg.
