Famihj Inijcliiihf.—The transition fromthe Talfeporidu to the Psychid?e is a mostnatural one, whether we compare the jnipaor imago. In Fumea the wingless femaleshave legs and antenna-,while in Psyche theyare wanting and theynever leave their case,or when the female ofFumea escapes fromthe pupa, it emergesfrom the case and sitson the outside (Stain-ton). On reading theviews of Spuler we dis-covered, by comparing. the pupa- of the two groups, their evident relationship. Indeed, Spuler appears to placeTateporia in the Psychida;, though at present they are universally referred to the Tiueina, MEMOIRS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 69 remarkiiijjf that its venation is typicallj- Tineinan. He adds tliat in shape and mode of life thefemales of many species of Funiea, and those of Ejiichnopteryx and of the Tahepoiida^, are muchmore nearly related to each other than tliose of other species of Funiea and Isyche the speciesof the latter genus falling into two groups,judging by their venation, and he states fcbrettd is the nearest relation ofthe type fmm which on the one side theZygienidic and on the other tlie Arctiida> andLiparida have descended.
