114 Dr. Chapman on some neglected points 
irregular blotches. These also occur in Zeuzera, and 
are extraordinarily developed, as well as metallic surface, 
in some exotic Hepiali. The blotching in Zeuzera seems 
to have settled down into transverse striation in Cossus, 
from which the passage through Retinia to Carpocapsa 
is easy to some of the definite (but far from Macro) 
patterns of Tortriz markings. 
When we come to the Tineoid section of the Micros, 
or true Tineina, I must assert that my ignorance greatly 
exceeds my knowledge; that is to say, that I have 
examined several species of all the larger genera, and 
have examined a good number of other genera, but there 
are still genera of which I know nothing ; and whilst I 
do not expect these will alter the general outline, they 
will no doubt throw considerable light on some details, 
and will probably present some interesting and anomalous 
forms, as it is amongst these that the largest variety 
exists, both in the larval and pupal states. Here almost 
every genus presents a slightly different type, whilst 
among the Macros (true) an extensive field affords only 
one type; and among the Tortrices it seems to be much 
the same. 
The Tineoid section of Incomplete therefore wants 
study of larger material than I yet have, in order to say 
anything very decided about them. 
In Nepticula we have as typical an example as any; 
the parts of the pupa separate readily on slight violence, 
so much so that it is not easy to be sure whether the 
first free segment is the 2nd abdominal or the 38rd, but I 
believe it is the latter. This is also the case in Lima- 
codes, in Tischeria, and in Adelids. In Tinea and in 
Sesia, and in Psychide, the first free segment is the 4th, 
but I have not examined enough Tinee to say that this 
is the rule in the genus. Lvthocolletes and Gracilaria 
present the first four abdominal segments fixed as in 
Obtecte, but in all other characters—7th free in male, 
dehiscence, mobility, eye-collar, &¢.—they are typical 
Incomplete. Gracilaria shows free extremities to legs 
and antenne in some instances. In G. elongella there 
seems to be a tendency to the 7th segment becoming 
fixed in the male; when I say a tendency, I have seen 
some male pupe (empty) in which I could not satisfy 
myself that it was free, though distinctly so in others. 
As there are many genera of the Tineina of which I
