THE PANORPOID COMPLEX, 111., 



Superfamily TINEINA. 



In this great group, thanks to the kindness of my friend, Mr. G. 

 Lyeli, I was well supplied with pupa?, especially in the eases 

 of the more archaic families Plutellidae and Oecophoridae. A 

 large number of pupa? belonging to the genera Wingia, Coesyra, 

 Heliocausta, Cebysa and Tinea were dissected. In the case of 

 Wingia lambertiella, Mr. Lyell supplied me with a very long 

 series of well-fed larva?, and pupa? in all stages; so that I was 

 able to study, in this species, the changes that take place durirg 

 pupal life, and at metamorphosis, in greater detail than in any 

 other case. 



This beautiful moth belongs to the family Oecophoridae; its 

 larva? spin the leaves of Eucalypts together, and pupate inside 

 a thick, white, silken web or tunnel.
