Lepidoptera of New York and Neighboring States 103 



or with strong spines provided with stinging hair, in the specialized 

 forms with smooth bodies and practically all the hair lost. Thoracic 

 legs present but small. Pupa of a low incomplete type, apparently 

 with first abdominal segment free, as well as all appendages; diffuse 

 spinulation all over dorsum of abdomen; collar projecting over head 

 in a pair of subdorsal lobes, and mesoscutum extending back across 

 metathorax to abdomen. Maxillae with tongue-case extending along 

 labial palpi, but not to their end, with a lateral projection at base, 

 reaching in Prolimacodes under the eye to the antenna. Eye strongly 

 sculptured, and forming a movable cap, covering end protecting the 

 first spiracle, which is ventral, not dorsal as in most families. 



The larva hibernates in the cocoon. The cocoon is oval, simple, 

 and has a hinged lid for emergence. 



There are about .400 species, the Phobetron group being American, 

 the spined group, largely tropical in both hemispheres, and the group 

 with smooth larvas, north temperate.
