Here might be placed the two families Thyrididic and Sesiidie. After a reconsideration of the transformations of these groups we agree with Dr. Chapman that as regards the latter it is Tineoid in spite of some Tortricid characters. We should, however, not absolutely place these families in the Tineina, but should rather regard them as immediate descendants from some Tineoid genus witli a well-developed eye-collar (fig. 41, TrochiUmn fraxini, mx. p.) and with a well-developed labrum. The generalized nature of the pupa of Trochilinm is also shown in the large distinct paraclypealpieces. The two families have evidently
