Family LIPARIDAE 



This family comprises the well known "Tussock Moths." They are of small or medium 

 size, the males with broad wings and very pectinated antennae, and in the first two genera 

 mentioned the females are wingless merely crawling out on the top of their cocoons to deposit 

 their eggs in the familiar clusters. The hairy fore pair of legs are extended forward when the 

 moths are at rest. The caterpillars are very showy, being ornamented with tufts of hair, 

 on the back, at the sides, and extremities. They make a cocoon on the bark of the trees. N. 

 antiqua is always double brooded, the other species partially so, in some favourable seasons.
