 while the iiuk'iiua' arc almost invariably well pectinated, often plumose (except 

 in Sciiiiot/ilsii, wliere they an; .simple). The tore wings are broad, sometimes 

 narrow and snbl'aleate, or, when broad, with the apex moie or less rectangu- 

 lar, and the eosta unusually straight. The hind wings are large and rounded, 

 scsldom an<rled. The venation is quite characteristic, the costal being often 

 united with the subcostal, and the latter usually throwing oil" three sliort 

 l)ranclies to the costa. Eitlim- one or no sul)e()stal cell Tiie species are 

 often high-colored, red or dark brown or deep ochreons, with dark or lighter 

 lines and spots. Abdomen very long and slender, much more so than usual. 



l,,trra. — " Caterpillars elongated, cylindrical, ordinarily without sweirmg,s 

 or eminences; head globular, as wide as the prothoracic ring, with the anal 

 part terminated l)y two horizontal points; generally living on low plants. 

 Chrysalides usually subterranean." — Guenee. 



Tn Gnenec's '^Zercnida;'', the caterpillars are described as short, ratlier 



thick. 



I do not see good grounds for separating the " Macarida;'' from the 

 ''FUlfjii/dai", as the differences are very slight; while the '^Fidonidw"' of M.
