The group is divided into a number ofsub-families, regarded by some authors as families. The LacJineides (Lasiocampinse) embrace the genera Clisiocampa,Gastropacha, etc. The larva of Clisiocampa americana Harris iscalled the American tent-caterpillar; its webs are seen in apple andcherry trees. The Ceratocampinm are represented by Anisota sanatoria (Abbot-Smith), whose spiny black-and-red-striped larva? strip oaks; also bytwo very large moths, Citheronia regalis (Fabr.) and Eacles imperial-is(Drury); the Hemileucini by Hemileuca maia and Hyperchiria io Fabr.;while the giants of the family belong to the Attaci, which embrace theAmerican silk-worm, the caterpillar of Teleapolyphemus (Cramer); Ac*.

This group is succeededby theNotodontians (Ptilodontes), of which Schizura umcornis (Abbot 156 ENTOMOLOGY. and Abbot) and Notodonta stragula Grote, as well as Nerice bidentataWalk.
