30. Anterior end of pupa with a single point Pieridae (p. 44) 



31. Fore wings extending far beyond the posterior edge of the fourth abdominal 



segment in the midventral line; fore femora and almost always labial and 

 maxillary palpi exposed; fronto-clypeal suture obsolete; prothorax notice- 

 ably narrower on mid-dorsal line than at sides; antennae very rarely in con- 

 tact on midventral line 32 



31. Fore wings not extending beyond the posterior edge of the fourth abdominal 



segment; or fore femora and labial palpi concealed, or fronto-clypeal suture

 reaching antennae, except in Ethmia 36 



36. Antennae four-fifths as long as fore wings, meeting only at their apex; labial 



palpi large, maxillaries minute, fronto-clypeal suture complete, strongly 

 sinuate of middle; most of setae hooked .. Yponomeutidae {Scythris) (p. 337) 



36. Antennae reaching almost or quite to tip of wings, coming in contact at two-

 cealed unless fore femora are exposed 37 



37. Antennae not diverging after coming in contact 38 



37. Antennae diverging at apex; three flexible incisures on abdomen 40
