 which agree best with Cramer's figure, there is only one white 

 dot near the middle of the hind-wings beneath. 



FAMILY XVIII. CYLLOPODID^. 



This is an exclusively American Family of rather small 

 slender-bodied Moths, usually expanding under i)^ inch. 

 They have long wings, and are generally black and yellow 

 in varying proportions ; or black with a red longitudinal 

 stripe traversing each wing, as in Josia^ Hiibner, and its 

 allies. 



They were formerly classed as Liihosiidce, or as forming 

 part of a Family called C/irysaugidce^ the typical members 

 of which are now removed to the Pyrales, while others formed 

 part of an ill-defined Family called Melanierid(B^ some of which 

 have now been ascertained, by the discovery of their meta- 

 morphoses, to be Geometrce. The antennae are simple, or 

 slightly pectinated in the males. These Moths fly by day.

 Chrysauge^ Group 3, Scaptia^ Walker, List Lepid. Ins. Brit. 



Mus. ii. p. 376 (1854). 



These are slender-bodied black and yellow Moths, with long 

 wings, and pectinated antennae in the males. They greatly 

 resemble Butterflies of the genus Chamcelinmas^ Felder, 

 belonging to the Leino7iiid(E^ which are found in the same 

 countries.
