Family : Cyclopidid^e. 



This family is a very comprehensive one, and appears to fall 

 into at least two important subfamilies on neurational characters, 

 according to Watson, viz. (1) Trapezitiiiae. (2) Ci/clopirfinae. The 

 former is the Trapezitae, and the latter, the Cyclopidae of Hiibner 

 (Verzeichniss, pp. 111-112). The former is diagnosed in the imaginal 

 stage by Watson, as having " Nervure 5 ot forewing slightly nearer to 

 6 than to 4," whilst the latter is noted as having " Nervure 5 not 

 nearer to 6 than to 4, usually distinctly nearer to 4 than to 6." The 

 latter is then divisible into two very characteristic tribes : (1) With 

 epiphysis on fore tibiae present — Ainblyscirtidi, (2) The epiphysis 

 not present — Cyclopididi. The latter contains our characteristic 

 Palaearctic genera — Heteropterus (type morpheus) and Cyclopides (type 

 palaemori). In the Cyclopididae, the J" has very rarely a discal stigma on 

 the forewing, but frequently presents glandular patches or tufts of hair on 

 the wings, whilst there appears never to be a tuft of hair on the tibia? 

 of the hind legs; the epiphysis on the tibia? of the front legs, and the 

 median pair of spurs of the tibiae of the hind legs are also sometimes 

 wanting, a remarkable character in this superfamily. The family is 

 confined almost entirely to the Old World, although some of the
