to costa, and the third preserved vein to the apex.* p. .198 



ElCLEID/E 



JJ. pure wing with all veins preserved and separate, or with R4 

 and 5 stalked or united, in that ease with three veins running 

 to co ta before the one thai goes to apex. 

 K. Fore wing with R5 running to costa. 



L. Palpus upturned and sickle-shaped, with long, pointed 



third joint, p. 205. (in part) CEcophorid^e 



LL. Palpus with third joint blunt, and either projecting 

 forward or very short. 

 ft 1 . Cu2 arising not far from middle of inner margin of 

 cell; palpus without bristles (Peronea) p. 209. 



TORTRICIDjE 



MM. C112 arising more than I way out on cell; palpus 

 normally with stiff bristles on outer side of second 

 joint, p. 199, 195 . . . . Tineid^e and Incurvariid^e 

 KK. Fore wing with R5 running to outer margin below apex. 

 L. Fore wing with R4 and 5 strongly stalked or united (one 

 vein missing); hind wing with R and Mi widely sepa- 

 rated at origin from cell; palpus upturned, sickle-shaped, 

 with third joint long and pointed, p. 205 



(Ecophorid^e (part) 



LL. Fore wing with R4 and 5 separate at origin or (rarely) 



with them stalked, but with R and Mi of hind wing 



stalked or closely approximate at origin; palpus with 



third segment usually short and blunt. 



M. Head smooth; palpus closely scaled, the third joint 



usually upturned and continuing the curve of the 



palpus; base of M (in cell) rarely preserved, and if 



so, bisecting cell. p. 207 Yponomeutid^e 



MM. Head and palpus rough-scaled, the third joint 

 projecting forward, or stumpy and well set off; base of 

 M running diagonally, in its outer part close to hind 



margin of cell, rarely lost. p. 209 Tortricid^e 



II. Spurs of tibia rudimentary, or if about as long as width of 

 tibia, with M forked in cell. 

 J. Base of M forked in cell, enclosing an intercalated cell (1st 



M2); spurs of tibiae distinct, p. 196 Cossid^e 



JJ. Base of M simple, dividing the cell in two parts. Tibiae 



normally with spurs absent, p. 200 Psychid^e 



HH. Vein 1st A, absent in fore wing. Palpus sickle-shaped, usually 



smooth, with long, pointed third joint, p. 205 GelechiiDjE 



GG. Vein 1st A, lost in both wings. 

 H. Frenulum present. 



I. "Micros" (wings soft and loosely scaled) fringe lengthened at 



anal angle of hind wing, hind wing with Ri preserved as a 

 strong vein connecting Sc and R near base, and palpi long and 

 sickle-shaped, p. 205 Gelechiid/e 



II. "Macros" (wings strong) fringe hardly longer at anal angle 

 of hind wing, Ri of hind wing lost by fusion of Sc and R or 

 else palpi very short. 



J. Ocelli absent, hind wing with Sc and R merely touching J to 

 I way out on discal cell or entirely separate, p. 232. 



Lymantriid^e 



JJ. Ocelli present (easily visible behind eye without denuding) 

 Sc and R fused a short distance, or touching much nearer to 

 base. 



K. Antennae swollen toward apex. p. 241 Agaristid^e 



KK. Antenna; regularly tapering, p. 234 NoctuiDjE 



HH. Frenulum absent, p. 256 Lasiocampid/E 



* If the wing is bluntly rounded the middle of the curving tip is viewed as the apex.
