THE WINGS OF LEPIDOPTERA

(g) COMPARISON OF TERiMIN'OLOGIES OF THE WING-VEINS OF THE 



LEPIDOPTERA 



I. PRINCIPAL VEINS 



The system chiefly used by British naturalists, excepting those who 

 have adopted the Comstock-Needham system, is based on that used by 

 Herrich-Schaffer in his "Systematische Bearbeitung der Schmetterlinge 

 von Europa" (1843-1856). 



The German system given here is that adopted by Staudinger and 

 Schatz in their "Exotische Schmetterlinge" (1892). 



It should be noted that the costal and subcostal veins of the writers on 

 the Lepidoptera who have not adopted the uniform terminology correspond 

 to the subcosta and radius, respectively, of that system.
