Family : Eutrichid^e. 



Nothing has been more unexpected in working out the characters 

 of the various species of this superfamily in detail than the certainty 

 that the Metanastriids belong to the Eutrichid, and not to the 

 Pachygastriid, side of this superfamily, and our conclusions, based 

 largely on the material in the British Museum collection*, lead us 

 to suggest the following main subdivisions of the family Eutrichidae. 



I. Subfam. : Metanastriin^e. 



1. Tribe : Macrothylaciidi—Macrothylacia (type M. rubi, L.). With general- 

 ised characters, but more definitely referable to the Eutrichid than the Pachygastriid 

 side of the Lachneid tree. 



2. Tribe: Gloveriidi- Gloveria (type G. oltvacea, Hy.-Edw.). 



3. Tribe: Metanastriidi - Metanastria (type M. hyrtaca. Cram, (repanda, 

 Walk, teste Kirby) . 



II. Subfam. : Dendrolimin^e. 



I. Tribe: Dendrolimidi — Deitdrolimns (type D. pini, L.). A very distinct 

 evolutionary branch from the Metanastriid stem, with less specialised characters 

 than those exhibited by the Cosmotrichids and Eutiichids (sens, strict. J . 



III. Subfam. : Cosmotrichin^e. 



1. Tribe: CosmoU'ichidi — Cosmotriche (type C. potatoria, L.). A specialised 

 group, branching independently from the Metanastriid base. 



IV. Subfam. : Pinarin^:. 

 1. Tribe : Pinaridi — Tinara (type P. obliqua, Walk.), Suana, Taragma, &c. 



* We have no great faith in some of the associations made in the British 

 Museum collection, between certain larvae, cocoons . pupae, and imagines. In some 

 cases, the cocoons, pupae, &c, have clearly no connection with the imagines 

 with which they are placed. We have neglected obviously bad associations, never- 

 thelers others less obvious may have been inadvertently admitted.
