Family AeyenUhe (= Sesiultw). This family shows a certain 

 relationship with the Sphingidae. 



In Bkitkn'mCller's enormous work (1900) Dyar has described 

 the caterpillars. Fkackek (1915) ad«>pt8 those results with some 

 modifications. Dyar says (p. 228) that all the tubercles are single, 

 there never being any development of warts or secondary hairs. 

 The abdomen has type I with s. posMifftnalis and s. infrastiij- 

 malts united. 



It is the same on the prothorax^ but there is a s. guhUorsalis 

 inf.j and rerruca aupraatigntalis and r. prostitjnitdis ea«'h bear 

 thrt« setae, the two s. Inualea are on one tuberculuin. 



Mr!»)thorax and Mrttithorwc according to Dyar: ''I^ and !'• uni- 

 ted, Ib» and III* likewitu>, but IV and V well separated, IV being 

 even nearer to III than to V, a curious circumstance''. 



I think there are : .<». donalii -\- s. donolateraliit, h. suprastiy- 

 malis -f -"*' pt'ostiiftnaliSy 8. posWUjinalU^ s. infrttstigmalis, 8. basalis, 

 8. fwdalis. 



Khopaloeera. 



Fracker believes that the butterflies arose from the Microlepi- 

 iioptera in a time when x and )f had not yet become adjacent. 



Family Hesperidae. No material in the coll. Kall. 



Fracker (1915, p. 127) follows the descriptions of Scudder 

 (1889) not only in this family but in all the Bhoj)alocera. 



This family deviates a great deal from the others which Kand- 

 LiRSCH takes together under the name of Papilionidae s. 1. 



Fracker says : "Secondary setae numerous, small flattened plates 

 sometimes present, possibly showing position of primary setae, 

 setae on the head often plumose." 



Family Megathymidae with the last-mentioned one united to 

 the Hespen'oidae. 



Fracker (1915, p. 128) says, "no setae on dorsal half, nume- 

 rous on ventral half of the first two thoracic segments, rare or 

 absent on abdomen except prolegs." 



Family Lycaenidae. These larvae resemble ZYGAENOIDEA a 

 little (Fracker 1915, p. 128).
