Wlien the larval stages are better known (as, for instance, in 

 North America as portrayed by Packard in the Memoirs of the 

 National Academy of Sciences, Washington, 1895), they may ])e 

 of help ill elucidating the relationship of the genera. Lar^al 

 characters are always to be viewed with caution, as they are so 

 liable to adaptive modification, but in the present family they 

 are more likely to be of use than elsewhere.
