each lobe, and the hindwings the first cleft not deeply cut, whilst, in 

 the Alucitids, the (brewings have the angles ill-developed or obso- 

 lescent, whilst the hindwings have the clefts deeply cut and the three 

 plumules of more linear form. 



Temporarily, I suggest that the following represents, in the present 

 state of our knowledge, a fair grouping, exhibiting most of the wider 

 differences at present discovered, of our Alucitid moths, and this I 

 propose to use as a framework, on which the studies of Mr. Bacot, 

 Dr. Chapman, and myself, will be hung, in our forthcoming volume 

 on this superfamily.
