  This 
  is 
  the 
  first 
  of 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  families 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  term 
  micro-lepi- 
  

   doptera 
  may 
  be 
  applied 
  with 
  strict 
  propriety, 
  and 
  small 
  as 
  the 
  majority 
  

   are, 
  many 
  of 
  them 
  are 
  veritable 
  gems 
  of 
  beauty, 
  far 
  exceeding 
  in 
  bril- 
  

   liancy 
  and 
  richness 
  their 
  relatives 
  of 
  larger 
  size. 
  The 
  wings 
  are 
  usually 
  

   narrow, 
  sometimes 
  lanceolate, 
  with 
  very 
  long 
  fringes, 
  which 
  are 
  espe- 
  

   cially 
  marked 
  in 
  the 
  secondaries. 
  The 
  antennae 
  are 
  usually 
  of 
  moderate 
  

   length 
  and 
  slender, 
  but 
  sometimes 
  very 
  long, 
  the 
  head 
  often 
  set 
  with 
  

   closely 
  placed 
  upright 
  scales, 
  appearing 
  like 
  a 
  little 
  plush 
  cap. 
  There 
  

   are 
  some 
  exceptions 
  lo 
  this 
  type, 
  notably 
  the 
  little 
  series 
  of 
  shaggy 
  

   forms 
  allied 
  to 
  "Anophora"; 
  but 
  as 
  a 
  whole 
  the 
  characterization 
  applies. 
  

   The 
  distinctive 
  features 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  families 
  are 
  not 
  obvious 
  to 
  any 
  

   save 
  the 
  special 
  student, 
  and 
  no 
  attempt 
  will 
  be 
  made 
  to 
  define 
  them. 
  

  

  The 
  larvae 
  are 
  largely 
  miners 
  in 
  leaves 
  and 
  vegetable 
  tissue 
  generally, 
  

   though 
  a 
  few 
  live 
  in 
  or 
  on 
  animal 
  matter. 
  Many 
  of 
  them 
  make 
  charac- 
  

   teristic 
  cases 
  or 
  mere 
  tubes, 
  in 
  which 
  they 
  live, 
  and 
  among 
  these 
  the 
  

   "clothes 
  moths" 
  have 
  a 
  well 
  deserved 
  if 
  not 
  particularly 
  good 
  reputation. 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  few 
  collections 
  of 
  these 
  species 
  and 
  our 
  fauna 
  is 
  only 
  im- 
  

   perfectly 
  known.
