the discocellular veinlet. The Eupterotidae moreover can at 

 once be distinguished from the Lasiocampidae by the 

 important character of their well-developed frenulum, this 

 being entirely absent in the Lasiocampidae. The larvae of the 

 Lasiocampidae are densely hairy, often with long thick tufts 

 directed forwards on either side of the head, or backwards from 

 the anal segment, as in the Liparidae (to which Mr. Hampson 

 considers them allied) ; whereas the larvae of the Eupterotidae 

 are more Arctiid in character, such hairs as there are, whether 

 few or many, being chiefly emitted in tufts from wart-like 

 excrescences. 



There can be no doubt whatever, from the entire structure 

 of the moths and the character of their larvae, that Anaphe 

 and Bypsoides must be placed in the family Eupterotidae of 

 Hampson.
