Spuler also shows that the venatiou of the Ortlioptera, especially their most generalized formBlatta, is luudameutally nearly identical with that of the Lepidoptera, veins I-V being readilyhomologized with those of the latter group; so also with the most gene ralizcd Hemiptera (Fidgora,fig. 47).

But that the system of venation of Spuleris morphologically the correct one is fullyand satisfactorily proved by the ontogeneticdeveloi)ment of the veins. Fritz Miiller(Kosmos, i, p. 390) was the first to examine the incipient venation of two semipupal moths (€«stnia arclalus). Heobserved that in the immature pupa the cross veins were wanting, a
