Although the above is the most natural grouping of sub-families, it is not 

 easy to make a key to them all. The first four come in quite easily but the last 

 five are very difficult to co-ordinate. The key is as follows : — 

 A. — Insects in repose with wings extended horizontally. 

 Fore wing : with vein 5 alwaj's nearer to 6 than to 

 4. Eggs strongly ribbed. Larvte feeding on 

 dicotyledonous plants . . . . . . . . CelcenorrMnoe. 



B. — Insects with wmgs in repose either held erect over 

 the back or slanting along the body. Fore wing: 

 with vein 5 various. 



a. Insects with wings either erect or slanting. 

 Fore-wmg : vein 5 always nearer to 6 than to 4. 

 Small butterflies never more than 37mm. in 

 expanse. Eggs strongly ribbed. Larvae feed- 

 ing on dicotyledonous vegetation . . . . Hesperiince. 



b. Insects with wmgs invariably held erect when 



resting. Fore icing : vein 5 various.

 ed out horizontally, or nearly so, in front of 

 head. Eggs all strongly ribbed. Larvae
