Note. — The fore-wing of nearly all the species in this family con- 

 tains sixteen areolets, which Germar distinguishes by the followiiig 

 names: — one primitive areolet; one front areolet ; six discoidal 

 areolets ; and ei^jht marginal areolets. The flap is ai the base of 

 the hind l)ordcr of the hind wing, and can be folded beneath. In 

 the fore-wing there is a small corresponding part which 1 have 

 named the fore-flap, but it does not ibid. The first cross-vein forms 

 the base of the second marginal areolet, and the second forms the 

 base of the third ; the third forms the base of the fifth, the fourth of 

 the seventh, and the fifth of tlie eighth. The angles mentioned are 

 outward, and are formed by the base of each cross-vein.
