﻿ADKINIA 
  ZOPHODACTYLUS.

  Stenoptilia, 
  may 
  be 
  mentioned. 
  These 
  details 
  (for 
  which 
  we 
  are 
  in- 
  

   debted 
  to 
  Chapman 
  and 
  Bacot) 
  may 
  be 
  summarised 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Ovum. 
  — 
  The 
  ovum 
  of 
  Stenoptilia 
  (as 
  illustrated 
  by 
  pterodactyla) 
  is 
  much 
  more 
  

   Agdistid-like 
  than 
  that 
  oi 
  Adkinia 
  (as 
  illustrated 
  by 
  bipunctidacty 
  la), 
  the 
  longitudinal 
  

   ribs 
  are 
  more 
  marked 
  in 
  Adkinia. 
  Labva. 
  — 
  In 
  the 
  larva 
  of 
  Stenoptilia 
  {pterodactyla), 
  

   the 
  posterior 
  accessory 
  dorsal 
  warts 
  on 
  thoracic 
  segments 
  are 
  represented 
  by 
  strong 
  

   hairs; 
  these 
  tubercles 
  are 
  almost 
  entirely, 
  or 
  totally, 
  absent 
  in 
  Adkinia 
  (zophodac- 
  

   tylus 
  and 
  bipuntidactyla) 
  . 
  In 
  Stenoptilia, 
  the 
  accessory 
  tubercles 
  = 
  iiia 
  and 
  

   iiib 
  (Dyar) 
  are 
  developed, 
  the 
  upper 
  strongly; 
  in 
  Adkinia, 
  they 
  are 
  practically 
  

   undeveloped 
  (in 
  A. 
  zophodactylus 
  no 
  trace). 
  In 
  Stenoptilia, 
  the 
  warts 
  representing 
  

   primary 
  tubercles 
  are 
  well-developed, 
  with 
  primary 
  and 
  numerous 
  secondary 
  setae, 
  

   on 
  fairly 
  well-developed 
  raised 
  skin 
  areas 
  ; 
  in 
  Adkinia, 
  these 
  warts 
  are 
  only 
  incipient, 
  

   with 
  primary 
  hair, 
  and 
  no, 
  or 
  very 
  few, 
  ill-developed, 
  secondary 
  hairs. 
  Pupa. 
  — 
  

   The 
  pupal 
  structures 
  are 
  practically 
  identical. 
  Imago. 
  — 
  The 
  spotting 
  of 
  the 
  fore- 
  

   wings 
  is 
  at 
  the 
  fissure 
  in 
  Adkinia, 
  some 
  distance 
  therefrom 
  in 
  Stenoptilia. 
  

  

  We 
  are 
  not 
  at 
  all 
  certain 
  that 
  bipunctidacty 
  la 
  and 
  zophodactylus 
  are 
  

   not 
  themselves 
  characteristic 
  of 
  separate 
  little 
  natural 
  groups, 
  but 
  our 
  

   ignorance 
  of 
  the 
  early 
  stages 
  of 
  the 
  allied 
  Palsearctic 
  species 
  forbids 
  us 
  

   going 
  into 
  further 
  subdivision, 
  and 
  inclines 
  us 
  to 
  leave, 
  provisionally, 
  

   zophodactylus 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  genus 
  as 
  bipunctidacty 
  la. 
  As 
  to 
  the 
  larval 
  

   differences 
  exhibited 
  by 
  Adkinia 
  bipunctidactyla 
  and 
  A. 
  zophodactylus, 
  

   Bacot 
  observes 
  that 
  the 
  latter 
  has 
  far 
  fewer 
  secondary 
  hairs 
  than 
  the 
  

   former, 
  whilst 
  in 
  this 
  the 
  incipient 
  wart 
  development 
  is 
  also 
  less 
  

   distinctly 
  marked. 
  He 
  suspects 
  that 
  the 
  internal-feeding 
  habit, 
  main- 
  

   tained 
  in 
  the 
  2nd 
  brood 
  of 
  A. 
  zophodactylus, 
  has 
  kept 
  the 
  development 
  

   of 
  hairs, 
  warts, 
  &c, 
  usually 
  connected 
  with 
  an 
  external-feeding 
  habit, 
  

   markedly 
  in 
  check, 
  the 
  greater 
  development 
  of 
  hairs 
  being 
  useless 
  in 
  

   internal-feeding 
  larvae.
