Zeller, has outstripped the American one in the process of 

 degeneration and modification, and the maxilhe (fig. 27, m.v.) 

 are very much shorter and smaller, though the maxillary palpi 

 are of the same shape and size. In this 

 genus the abdomen has no cremaster and no 

 terminal hooked spines, the pupa in exuvia- 

 tion being fastened to the sides of the cocoon 

 by iinmerous hooked seta; (fig. 2(5, A). 



Famihj I'nijcliiihf. — The transition from 

 the Talfeporidu' to the Psychid?e is a most 

 natural one, whether we compare the jnipa 

 or imago. In Fumea the wingless females 

 have legs and antenna-, 

 while in Psyche they 

 are wanting and they 

 never leave their case, 

 or when the female of 

 Fumea "escapes from 

 the pupa, it emerges 

 from the case and sits 

 on the outside" (Stain- 

 ton). On reading the 

 views of Spuler we dis- 

 covered, by comparing 



the pupa- of the two groups, their evident relationship. Indeed, Spuler appears to place 

 Tateporia in the Psychida;, though at present they are universally referred to the Tiueina,
