II. Some of the branches of radius or of media 

 either wanting or grown together beyond the 

 discal cell. 



J. Hind wings with subcosta and radius appar- 

 ently distinct but connected by a strong oblique 

 cross vein (Fig. 407). Moths of medium or 

 large size, with spindle-shaped bodies, narrow, 

 strong wings, and usually with the antennae 

 prismatic in form, and more or less thickened 

 in the middle or towards the tip, which is fre- 

 quently recurved in the form of a hook (Hawk- 

 moths), p. 329 SPHINGID^E. 



JJ. Subcosta and radius of hind wings either dis- 

 tinct or grown together ; but not appearing to 

 be connected by a strong, oblique cross vein. 

 K. Vein Vj of the fore wings not more closely 

 joined to cubitus than to radius, cubitus being 

 apparently three-branched. 

 L. The basal part of the subcosta of the hind 

 wings extending from the base towards the 

 apex of the wing in a regular curve. Moths 

 resembling Noctuids in form ; />., with a 

 large abdomen and with rather narrow, 

 strong, and coarsely-scaled fore wings. 

 M. Vein V s of the hind wings arising much 

 nearer to cubitus than to radius; vein Vi 

 of the hind wings joined to radius at a 

 considerable distance before the apex of 

 the discal cell (Fig. 349). p. 291. 



CYMATOPHORID.E. 



MM. Vein V s of the hind wings either 

 wanting or present, but when present 

 arising either midway between radius 

 and cubitus. or nearer to radius than to 

 cubitus; vein V, of the hind wings joined 

 to radius at or beyond the apex of the 

 discal cell (Fig 311). p. 263. 



NOTODONTID^. 



LL. The basal part of the subcosta of the 

 hind wings joined to radius for a consider- 

 able distance and then making a prominent 

 bend towards the costal margin, as in Cicirt-
