“Type 3 (parapleural fovea): Notodontide, Noctuide, 
Agaristide.’” In his “Summary and Conclusions,” he 
observes that “A study of the base of the abdomen.... 
suggests: (1) The Notodontidez are better placed near the 
Noctuidz than near the Geometridze and Bombycide,” and 
on p. 189 he remarks, a propos of leaving “ the Notodontide 
as a solitary trifid family in a mass of Quadrifide,” that 
“ possibly the importance of the position of M? (vein 5) in 
the fore wing is less than it has been considered. Already 
we give little weight to itin the hind wing and in certain 
Hydriomenid Geometridz such as Hudule.”
