^viarptys, Christ. iscJmodactylm, Tr.

8. OENEODID^. 

 Ocelli distinct. Tongue developed. Maxillary palpi obsolete. 

 Fore wings six-cleft, cell very short, vein 5 absent, 7 separate, 

 8 and 9 coincident. Hind wings six-cleft, cell very short, 5 absent, 

 7 out of G near origin, 8 free. 



The family consists only of the one genus. It stands 

 quite isolated, the earlier connecting forms being appa- 

 rently all extinct. Owing to the great degeneration of 

 the veins, and the absence of earlier forms, it is im- 

 possible to fully trace its affinities, but there can be no 

 doubt that it is a development parallel to the Ptero- 

 phoridcB, but very distinct from that family. 



82. Orneodes, Latr. 



Face with projection of scales ; ocelli distinct ; tongue developed. 

 Antennae three-fifths, in 3" minutely ciliated (i). Labial palpi 

 long, obliquely ascending, second joint with rough projecting scales 

 beneath, more or less tufted towards apex, ternainal joint moderate 

 or long, pointed, slender or thickened in front with rough scales. 

 Maxillary palpi obsolete. Posterior tibiae sometimes partially 

 rough-haired above, outer spurs one-half to two-thirds of inner. 

 Fore wings six-cleft, cell very short ; veins 5 and 6 absent, 7 

 separate, 9 and 10 absent, 11 separate or out of 8. Hind wings 

 six-cleft, cell very short ; vein 5 absent, 6 out of 7, 8 free, approxi- 

 mated to 7. 



This genus appears to be principally developed in 

 Europe, Africa, and Australia, but is not of any great 

 extent ; stray species are also known from North and 

 South America, and it is likely enough that others will 

 be found there, as the species are inconspicuous and 

 easily overlooked.
