Superfamily SATURNIOIDEA 



The pupae of this superfamily retain none of the generalized char- 

 acters found in the families previously discussed and all the sutures 

 of the head are obliterated, even those adjacent to the proximal ends 

 of each antenna. The body is usually heavily chitinized, and although 

 there are always a few setae present they are rarely visible to the un- 

 aided eye. The superfamily is distinguished by the presence of broadly 

 pectinate antennae, in the Ceratocampidae for about one third of the 

 length, while in the Hemileucidae and Saturniidae they are broadly 

 pectinate to the distal end, and generally have the stem of the flagel- 

 lum elevated. The greatest width of each antenna is at least one fifth
