 Venation of Heterocampa lunula Hy. Edw., illustrating nomenclature of veins. 



This division is sharp, not complicated by any iutergrading forms. 

 It shotild be followed directly by a synopsis of families in each sub- 

 order, for we have not found it possible to define a series of super- 

 families with satisfactory exactness. However, several divisions of 

 the Frenatse may be recognized, though they are not sharply sepa- 

 rated.
