Family Elachistidae. Fracker (1915) does not mention the setal 

 pattern. 



Family Coleophoridae. Fracker (1915, p. 80): „setae almost 

 indistinguishable, apparently in the normal micro-lepidopteran 

 arrangement". 



Family Ethmiidae. The two larvae, examined by Fracker 

 I.e. p. 81, differed as to the abdomen, the thorax was the same. 



Family Stenotnidae. Fracker I.e. p. 81, says that p and s are 

 situated below y, evidently s. dorsolateralis, s. suprastigmalis and 

 8. prostigmalis. Segment 9 is slightly different from the others. 



Family Ilenierophilidae. According to Fracker (1915, p. 82) this 

 family differs a good deal from the Yponomeutidae with which 

 formerly it was sometimes connected. On the prothorax a (s. dor- 

 salis) is more lateral than (3 (s. subdorsalis), on the abdomen it 

 is the other way about, except on segment 9, which again resem- 

 bles the prothorax. The four genera examined differ slightly 

 from each other. 



Family Gelechiidue. Fracker (1915), mentions as a distinction 

 from the Pyralidae, the three setae of the K-group ; and the distance 

 of seta /3 on segment 9 as a distinction from the Tortricidae. 

 He goes on to say that the genera differ and that the species of 

 Gelechia vary greatly (1. c. p. 84). 



Family Oecophoridae. Fracker (1915, p. 85) cannot find a 

 satisfactory characteristic to distinguish them from the Gelechiidae. 



Family Blastobasidae. This family differs from all the others 

 in p (= 8. suprastigmalis ?) on the abdominal segment 8 being 

 caudodorsad of the spiracle and x cephaloventrad ; therefore a 

 8. prostigmalis must apparently be present. Fracker (1915, p. 86). 



Family Cosmopterygidae. Fracker gives on p. 86 : /3, 5, p in 

 a transverse line, apparently the same arrangement, which 0. Hof- 

 MANN (1898) found in some Pterophoridae. 



Starting from the TiscJieriidae Fracker takes the families to- 

 gether as the TINEOID SERIES of the NON-ACULEATA. If 

 we try to find out the constant characteristics, we only can say that 

 the tubercula are monosetal and that there are no secondary setae.
