TABLE OF PROPOSED DIVISIONS OF THE LEPIDOPTERA. 



A. Suborder Jugate. 



B. The Macrojugat(E Family Hepialid^. 



BB. The MicrojugatcE Family Micropterygid.^;. 



AA. Suborder Frenat^. 

 B. The MicrofrenatcE . 



C. The Tineids Superfamily Tineina. 



CC. The Tortricids Superfamily Tortricina. 



CCC. The Pyralids Superfamily Pyralidina. 



BB. The Macrofrenatce. 



C. The Frenuhim-cojiservers. 



D. Moths in which the reduction of the anal area 

 of the hind wings precedes the reduction of the anal 

 area of the fore wings. This group is not repre- 

 sented in the North American fauna. Castnia (Fig. 

 15) will serve as an illustration. 

 DD. Moths in which the reduction of the anal area of 

 the fore wings precedes the reduction of the anal 

 area of the hind wings. 

 E. The Generalized Frenuluin-conservers . 



F. Moths in which a great reduction of the sub- 

 costal cell of the hind wings is taking place. 

 G. Moths in which the anal veins of the fore 

 wings anastomose so as to appear to be 

 branched outwardly. (Fig. 25.) 



Family Megalopygid^. 

 GG. Moths in which the anal veins do not 

 anastomose in such a way as to appear 

 branched outwardly. 



Superfamily Zyg^nina (in part). 



FF. Moths in which the subcostal cell of the hind 



wings is not greatly reduced. 



G. Moths in which the anal veins of the fore 



wings anastomose so as to appear to be 



branched outwardly. (Fig. 22.) 



Family Psychid^.
