have also a soft (not jointed) small appendage on the ventral side 
of the dorsal process, that probably represents the obsolete hook. 
If this be so, muwsina would be an ancestral form, hardly yet a 
Lycenopsis, and the others referred to would be the earliest true 
_Lyceenopsids.

Tn classifying the appendages, there are no grounds apparently 
for supposing one can easily at the same time classify the species. 
One is inclined to begin with puspa as almost the only species 
that can be said to have a hard (spinous) and soft (hair-clothed) 
process to the clasps, because this seems to be not only a primitive 
Lycnine but even a primitive lepidopterous character, following 
with argiolus as possessing vestiges of the soft process. In other 
species the soft process is merely constructively present. After 
these would come such species as oreas, phillippina, &e., in which 
the spinous process bends down, and in corythus, nedda, &e. 
displays the teeth as marked spines.
