1. Dicopinw m. In thissection are grouped genera with the head sunken, 
the squamation rough or thick, the abdomen tending to be weak and 
plump, as in the Apateling, the tibie unarmed except by a strong claw on 
anterior pair, the ocelli present, the male antenn thick and stoutly pecti- 
nate, the eyes naked and lashed, the labial palpi short, the tongue mode- 
rate, the chrysalis hibernates, and the moths appear early in the year, As 
to the ornamentation it is typical in Dicopis, and agrees with the /ade- 
nine. I believe the group to be really close to the latter, and would bring 
the genera either before or after that group. It does not appear to be rep- 
resented in Hurope. As an instance that natural structural characters are 
only of subordinate value in arranging the family groups, [ would instance 
the genera Dicopis, Oopivaleria, Oncoenemis and Basilodes, all have naked 
eyes, unarmed tibise with a claw on anterior pair, yet we cannot associate 
them in a single group, their general appearance and form is so diverse. 
Hutolype is singular for a small central chalybeous tuft of thoracic scales 
(easily overlooked and removed when the moth is pinned) only noticeable 
also in Tolype and Hudryas ; there is a somewhat analogous posterior tuft 
in Oxycenmis. Copipanolis is a very singular Bombyciform genus, reddish 
in color with variably thick median lines, narrower in the female, found 
from Massachusetts to Texas. There is a faint resemblance to the Kuro- 
pean genus Panolis, but on the whole, I think, a mere analogy. 
2. Apateline m. This is Boisduval’s Bombycoidea. The genera are 
more or less like Notidontidw or Dasychirinw as to moth and larva. The 
wings are even, the body plump, often the males have pectinate antennie, 
though the typical genus was then simple. The larve are usually hairy, 
bristled and bizarre in appearance. Apatella Funeralis has club-shaped 
hairs, and represents in our fauna the European A. Alnt. Raphia is rep- 
resented by two species, of which the neuration of Abrupta seemed to me 
to agree with that of R. Hybris, the European type of the genus which I 
have never seen. Charadra has hairy eyes, and is nearly related, perhaps 
not distinct. Awdela and Platycrura seem to me related, The term Diph-
