I acknowledge considerable help from Mr. Busck in this part 
of the table, and regret he was unable to take time to contribute 
the Tineina as a whole. The interrogation points indicate some 
of the principal points where the family positions are uncertain, 
either from lack of study of dissections, or from failure to develop 
characters of true family rank. Most of the genera I have not 
seen I have simply omitted from the list, unless their position was 
quite evident. The Heliozelidz, as they stand here are hetero- 
geneous, with little doubt. Part of the genera may be distributed 
among the recognized families, while some may need to become 
typical of new ones. There are indications of a connection 
between Tischeria, Opostega and this group, through such forms 
as the Old-world genus Opogona, which may or may not be sig- 
nificant. Opostega is certainly aculeate, Tischeria has structures 
corresponding to aculez, but so enlarged and modified that their 
status is doubtful, while I am unable to see any at all in Antispila. 
The whole range of structure in the five families Gelechiide to 
Blastobaside is hardly as significant as that within the Tineide, 
even as here restricted. 
The principal difference from the arrangement in Comstock’s 
Manual is the treatment of the Tortricina, Geometrina and Pyra- 
lidina; (except the feathered forms) each as a single family. His 
Cymatophoride is the Thyatiride of this table, and his Zygv- 
nide are here called Syntomide, following general European 
usage in treating Zygena as the group related to Pyromorpha. 
The Auzatide have been combined with the Drepanide (Platyp- 
terygide). 
Kirby’s Bibliography is so different in its treatment of family
