Nothing at all approaching this form of neuration is known in any other Order of insects, and it is highly improbable that so complex a type could have originated twice independently ; there need be no hesitation, therefore, in concluding that the relationship (which is equally indicated in the mouth-parts and other structures) is real.

Forewings : 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex, 9 sometimes absent, 11 and 12 sometimes with additional branches (mhpurpureUa). Hindwings as forewings, but 9 and additional branches of 12 always absent. As now restricted, the genus is confined to N. and C. Europe, and includes only one or two other'species besides those here described; but probably more remain to be discovered, as few workers have given attention Nl'''-' otMimttryxnibpmfpuraia. to the group. The species are mostly very similar in appearance and habit, and require care in discrimination. The abdomen in ? is furnished with a serrated lancet-like implement for egg-deposition. Ovum rounded-cylindrical, placed in a pocket cut within the substance of the leaf. Larva apodal, head small, 2-4 broad, with minute protrusible subdorsal and supraventral papillae, 5 with la
