for its tasselled tail, in the same work (pl. 19.); the larva has 16 feet, 
and the pupa is enclosed in a very loose cocoon. This species is 
the type of Guilding’s manuscript genus Phakellura. The genus 
Nola appears nearly allied to the Tortricidae, not only in the elevated 
patches of scales in the wings (fig. 110. 11. N. cucullatella), but also 
in the habit of its cocoon (fig. 110. 13.) ; its larva (jig. 110. 12, 13.) 
is naked and depressed, pilose, and furnished with 14 feet. Odontia 
dentalis has a smooth larva, slightly tapering at both extremities, 
with 6 pectoral, 8 abdominal, and 2 anal feet, and which forms a 
close cocoon amongst leaves, obtuse at one end, and pointed at the 
other (Hubner ; Curtis, 563.). Simaéthis is another genus, which in 
its form seems also allied to the Tortricidz, but its transformations 
are not known; they fly during the day, even at noon, and settle on 
leaves exposed to the sun, their motions being very curious; several, 
which I have watched, moving sideways, and in a circular direction ; 
and when they had completed the circle, they returned in the opposite 
direction, so as to complete the circle the contrary way. Kirby and 
Spence notice a similar motion in their Jntroduction, vol. ii. p. 369. 

The twelfth family, Torrricip®*, or the section Tordeuses of 
Latreille, Platyomides of Duponchel, or Pyralides of other French 
writers, is a group of considerable extent, composed of minute, gene- 
rally dull-coloured moths, distinguished by their broad entire fore wings, 
which form a triangle with the body when at rest, slightly deflexed at 
the sides, and dilated towards the shoulders (jig. 111. 8. wing of 
Carpocapsa Pomonella). The maxillary palpi are never prominent, 
although possessed by many species, but being in them very minute ; 
the labial palpi, on the other hand, are broad and very compressed,
