THE YOUNG NATUEALIST. 



SERPENTINA. Only three families, 

 with as many genera, are represented here. 



I. OpHiuisiDiE, has but one species 

 0. lunaris, which has occurred very rarely 

 in the South of England. It expands over 

 two inches, and has rather broad forewings, 

 with the usual markings. The larva has 

 sixteen legs, but the first two pair of clas- 

 pers are short. The pupa is in a cocoon 

 among leaves, and is covered with a bloom 

 something like the Cosmid^. 



II. EucLiDiDiE, contains one genus with 

 two species, both very common* They ex- 

 pand about an inch and a quarter, and have 

 broad fore wings. The larvae is long and 

 slender, like those of the Geometry, and 

 has only twelve legs. It sits quite stretched 

 out, or coils up the first three or four seg- 

 ments if disturbed. The pupa is in a 

 cocoon. 



III. PoAPHiLiD^ has but one genus and 

 and one species. It is a small insect expand- 

 some three-quarter of an inch, and rather 

 variable in colour. The larva was unknown 

 till lately, it resembles that of the last family 

 in construction and habits. The pupa is in 

 a cocoon of leaves of the food plant spun 

 together with silk.
