 A curious phcnomcncm termed dimorphism, or polymor])hism, exists in some species 

 of Pnpilionidie, the males of some spccii's being associated with two or three ililferent 

 sorts of females. No species of the entire order is parasitic at any stage. Two 

 great divisions exist, Ehopalocera or Butterflies, and Ueleroccra or Moths. 



HETEROCEEA. 



Antennoe pectinate, setaceous, plumose or fusiform, rarely elavate. This division 

 emhraces the nocturnal Lepidojjtera, or moths ; but all the species are not exclusively 

 nocturnal. The Bumhi/eida embrace the ' silk worms,' some of the most valuable 

 insects, and the Tineida some of the most troublesome and destructive to woollen 

 fabrics. The females in some genera are apterous '(O^yyi^, Enome).
