204 INSECTA. 
long and numerous hairs. It is blackish-brown with rings of 
blue tubercles(1). 
Caturmorpna, Lat.—£yprepia, Ochs. 
Where the wings are also tectiform, but the antenne, at most, 
ciliated in the males; the inferior palpi are merely covered with 
small scales, and the proboscis is long. 
C. Jacobex; Bombyx Jacobex, Fab., Rees., Insect., Class II, 
Noct. Pap., xlix. A very common species in France. Black; 
superior wings with a line and two points of carmine; the infe- 
rior ones, carmine margined with black. 
The caterpillar is yellow, with black antenney it lives on 
the Groundsel(2). 
Lirnosia, Fab. 
Where the wings are laid horizontally on the body(S). 
The fourth section of the Nocturna, that of the Arosura(A4), is re- 
moved, as we have observed in the general divisions of this family, 
by a unique character, viz. the absence of the anal feet of the animal 
in its larva state. The posterior extremity of the body terminates 
in a point, which in several is forked, or even presents two long, 
articulated, and movable appendages, forming a sort of tail. With 
respect to their proboscis, palpi, and antennz, these Insects are but 
slightly removed from the preceding ones. Some, such as the 
Dioranoura, Godart,—Cerura, Schr.—Harpyia, Ochs. 
Have the external appearance of the Sericariz and Cheloniz; the 
antennz of the males terminate in a simple and curved thread. The 
posterior extremity of the body of the caterpillars is forked(5). 
Some others, such as the

which forms a lateral branch leading to the Phalznites.
