LEPIDOPTERA. — TINEIDE. 4.09 
Haan gives this as Tinea sequella, but a specimen of the cocoon, 
which I found near Berlin, was named for me by the Senator Van 
Heyden, Tinea rhamnifoliella. 

The fourteenth family, TrnE1D, comprises an extensive series of 
minute Lepidopterous insects, distinguished from the Tortricidae by 
their narrower wings, as well as by the slenderness of their palpi; 
whilst the great development of the maxillary palpi, and the rare 
occurrence of recurved labial palpi, separates them (but by no means 
satisfactorily) from the Yponomeutide. The body is generally long 
and slender ( fig. 113. 5. Tinea tapetzella) ; the head often densely

clothed with scales in front (fig. 113. 6. head of Tinea graneila; 3. 
head of Galleria cereana); the antenne of moderate length, slender, 
and generally simple in both sexes, or pubescent beneath in the males ; 
the spiral tongue, cr maxille, is short (fig. 113. 4. maxilla and labium 
of Galleria cereana Savigny) ; but the maxillary palpi are well deve- 
loped, although occasionally short, yet forming a pair of scaly projec- 
tions, distinct from the labial palpi; in some, however, they are ex- 
traordinarily elongated, as shown in the dissections of various genera, 
published by Mr. Curtis (fig. 113. 7. maxilla of Tinea granella), and 
composed of five or six joints; in the majority, however, they are 
shorter, thickened at the tips, and 3-jointed; the thorax is rarely 
crested ; the legs spurred in the ordinary manner ; the wings are en- 
tire, often very narrow, and mostly convoluted in repose; the posterior 
are of moderate size, and are much folded when at rest. 
In their preparatory states, these insects are variable in their
