SOUTH AFUICAN BAGWORMS. 595 



II. Subfamily PSYCHING. 



In this subfamily the veinlets in the cells may be forked or 

 single ; the process of the fore tibiae is absent or present ; 

 the fore Aving has always one single branch from 16 to 

 the inner margin. 



This subfamily is divided into two genera : (1) Acantho- 

 psyche with a long thin process on the fore tibiae and (2) 

 J^syche without such a process. Heylaerts has divided most 

 genera of the Psych id a? into a number of subgenera and these 

 have been adopted also by Sir Greorge Hampson in his 

 ^ Moths of India.' It is not quite clear to me why some of 

 these groups <io not receive a generic position ; some of them 

 differ more from each other than some genera do in other 

 families.
