HUNTING 55 



The median suture is the line down the front of the 

 head where two segments join. It is often mentioned 

 in descriptions. 



Horns, tubercles, and tvarts are excrescences varying 

 in size and shape, " warts " being often used for the 

 smallest and least conspicuous. 



Granules, or granulations, are raised dots on the 

 skin, giving it roughness. 



Irrorations is a word used by many writers to indi- 

 cate dots not as much raised or as rough as granules. 

 We have called these simply raised dots. 



The anal plate is also called the sur-anal or supra- 

 anal plate or shield, and this is perhaps more descrip- 

 tive, since it is a plate over the anus, but we have 

 preferred the shorter word. 



The parts of a moth are shown in the two figures. 



Pectinate antennce are toothed like a comb, and may 

 have teeth so long that the antennae look like feathers, 

 and sometimes have more than one row of teeth. 



Ciliate antennce have short hair-like projections from 

 their sides.
