Family NOTODONTIDAE 



These are medium sized moths, with a poorly developed tongue and short antennae. The 

 thorax is short and square and into it the head is retracted. The abdomen is long and cylin-

 tooth. The caterpillars are mostly smooth, ornamented with stripes and curious patterns. 

 Most species enter the ground for pupation.
