made no observations. I find however, as the result of my study since, 
some interesting facts. ‘The female genitalia in the Z'pzpaschiine have a 
certain specialization for the purpose of oviposition. The last two seg- 
ments are provided with an extensile apparatus, consisting of a chitinous 
projection within and on either side of the oviduct. Those of the last 
segment control the end of the ovipositor, which is somewhat spatulate 
covered with stout hairs, the opening being underneath the spatulate 
portion, Those of the penultimate segment control the last segment. 
These give not only an extensile power, but act through the muscles in 
propelling the egg to the end of the abdomen. ‘This structure is essen- 
tially the same in the Phycitde. It also exists in the Gal/eride, in the 
© of some of which the extensile apparatus is very long, enabling the 
insect to double the length of the abdomen. 
I find also on some of the insects in the female a couple of stout 
projecting spines on the underpart of the abdomen. ‘These are pretty 
close together in 7° ///e//a and on the antepenultimate segment; in 7: 
aplastella wider apart on the second segment anterior to that. These are 
probably used in assisting the newly emerged imago from the cocoon. 
In view of the above I reiterate my opinion that the Ly7paschine 
and Phycitide are very nearly allied and am strongly inclined to believe 
the Lpipaschine should be regarded as a subfamily of the Phycitide.
