I think it possible that the families HejnoUdcs and 

 Psychidce ought to be placed here rather than where they 

 are at present located ; there is an unquestionable simi- 

 larity in the neuration of these two families, and that 

 of the Hepialidce, although of a very low type, is 

 hardly more so than that of the Castniidcs, to which, 

 excepting in their antennae, they seem allied. I strongly 

 suspect the natural order to be Cossidce, Pfii/c]iid<c, 

 Hepialidce, Castididce, judging them apart from the 

 Micro-Lepidoptera, some of which seem allied to Cossvs.
