  The 
  structural 
  

   characters 
  for

  of 
  the 
  hind 
  

   wings,

  Family 
  LITHOSIID^. 
  

  

  These 
  are 
  small, 
  slender 
  moths 
  with 
  narrow 
  fore 
  and 
  broad 
  hind 
  wings, 
  

   the 
  antennae 
  and 
  palpi 
  slender, 
  the 
  mouth 
  parts 
  well 
  developed 
  and 
  

   functional. 
  They 
  differ 
  from 
  the 
  "Arctiidse, 
  which 
  they 
  otherwise 
  resemble 
  

   in 
  structure, 
  by 
  the 
  lack 
  of 
  ocelli 
  or 
  simple 
  eyes. 
  The 
  larvae 
  are 
  covered 
  

   with 
  tufts 
  of 
  short, 
  stiff 
  hair, 
  feed 
  mostly 
  on 
  lichens 
  and 
  are 
  not 
  injurious.
