II. Some of the branches of radius or of media 
either wanting or grown together beyond the 
discal cell. 
J. Hind wings with subcosta and radius appar¬ 
ently distinct but connected by a strong oblique 
cross vein (Fig. 407). Moths of medium or 
large size, with spindle-shaped bodies, narrow, 
strong wings, and usually with the antennae 
prismatic in form, and more or less thickened 
in the middle or towards the tip, which is fre¬ 
quently recurved in the form of a hook (Hawk- 
moths). p.329. SPHINGIDiE. 
JJ. Subcosta and radius of hind wings either dis¬ 
tinct or grown together; but not appearing to 
be connected by a strong, oblique cross vein. 
K. Vein V a of the fore wings not more c^sely 
joined to cubitus than to radius, cubitus being 
apparently three-branched. 
L. The basal part of the subcosta of the hind 
wings extending from the base towards the 
apex of the wing in a regular curve. Moths 
resembling Noctuids in form ; i.e with a 
large abdomen and with rather narrow, 
strong, and coarsely-scaled fore wings. 
M. Vein Va of the hind wings arising much 
nearer to cubitus than to radius; vein Vi 
of the hind wings joined to radius at a 
considerable distance before the apex of 
the discal cell (Fig. 349). p. 291. 
CymatophoridjE. 
MM. Vein V a of the hind wings either 
wanting or present, but when present 
• arising either midway between radius 
and cubitus, or nearer to radius than to 
cubitus; vein Vi of the hind wings joined 
to radius at or beyond the apex of the 
discal cell (Fig 311). p. 263. 
NOTODONTIDiE. 
LL. The basal part of the subcosta of the 
hind wings joined to radius for a consider¬ 
able distance and then making a prominent 
bend towards the costal margin, as in Ctcin-
