TinCidcc {Scdi'd (/ holfli I'"ai)r., an I''iii-(i|)eaii species, pi. 7, liu;. Id, KV). — 

 Tn tliis liuiiilv the thorax is niiich sliorter than in the I'tcroiilioruUi', and th(3 

 Hanks less i)l)li(pic. 



Teri^nni. — Mesoscntiuu nincdi larger proportionally than in r/('n>itlionis, 

 and more scntellate in shape; scntelliiiii short and small, the snrfiice vei y 

 convex. .Mefathoi-ax : sentuni large, not sepai'ate, nnited for ahont iiall' its 

 leniith l)ysntnre; the pra'scntnm large and distinct, triangular in shape. 

 The scutellum is ol' the slia|)e usual in other liunilies, hnl longer and narrow ci', 

 though still very dillerent iVom that u[' I'/vraplionis. 



I'lenriMU. — \yhile the thorax is still long and slender, it is mn(di shorter 

 than in Pleroplionts. The thoracic segments seen lulerally aic very ohli(pie, 

 and the costa and trochantincs of all these segments are very long compared 

 with the e[)imera and e[)isteriia. 



Tortricldcc (^lortri.r, sp. umlelermined, allied to 1. rosi/rftiiiii Ilari'is, jil. 

 7, lig. 11, 11(/). — Here the thorax is very short and snhspheiical. 



Terguai. — ]\Iesoscut urn very short, and rather broad; scutellum rather 

 large ill pro|M)rtioii to tin' scutum, hoth ends pointed much the sanu' ; meta- 

 pri\3scutum obsolete ; scidiim short, the two halves just touching on the median 

 line of the body; scutellum very short, but distinctly triangular. 



Plcurum. — The thorax is much shorter, more s[)herical than in the 

 Tincldic; the Hanks are much more; vertical than in the T'liwidn', and are 

 in this respect much as in the higher liuhilies. The epimera and cpisterna 

 are broad and long in proportion to the coxse and trochantincs united. The 

 latter are short and thick, somewliat swollen, much more so than in any of 

 the allied tamilies. 



J'i/ri///drc (Boti/s s\)., \)\. 7, fig. 12, \2(/). — The thorax in this family is 

 usually rather long and slender; that oi' Boti/s is selected as a iiieaii between 

 the extreme liirms. 



Tergum. — Mcsoscutum moderately long and large, much longer than in 



Tortrix; the scutellum very large, alioiit as large in proportion to the thoiax 



as in Pleyopliorus. It is slightly longer than broad, and nearly e([uilatcrully
