THE WINGS OF LEPIDOPTERA 



The significance of the abbreviations given in the column indicating the 

 German system are as follows: C, Costale; SC, subcostale; OR, Oberer 

 Radiale; UR, Unter Radialc; M, Mediana; SM, Submediana; lA, 

 Innerandsader. 



In the hind wings vein SC+Ri of the uniform terminology is vein 8 

 of the British system and vein C of the German; vein Rg is vein 7 of the 

 British system and vein SC of the German. The other veins are designated 

 as indicated in the above table, which refers to the fore wings. 



As is shown on an earlier page, vein Cui of the Comstock-Needham 

 system is in reality vein M4+CU1. 



The accompanying figures, copied from Sharp ('99), will serve toillus- 

 trate the British and the German systems of terminology of the wing-veins. 

 Fig- 356, I, is after Hampson, and illustrates the British system. Fig. 

 356, II, is after Staudingcr and Schatz, and illustrates the German system.
