The animal kingdom, arranged after its organization : forming a natural history of animals, and an introduction to comparative anatomy . two, and then three, four,five, and so on. The third section of the Nocturnal Lepidoptera, that of the Pseudo-Bombyces, is composed ofspecies in which the hind wings, like those of all the following, are furnished with a bridle, whichfixes them to the anterior in repose, by which they are also then covered. The proboscis in the ter-minal species is elongated, dilfering only from the following tribes by being rather shorter. TheantenuEE are entirely pectinated, or serrated, in the males. The larvae of all feed on the exterior partsof vegetables. The first of these have the proboscis short, and unfitted for suction. In some of these the caterpillars do notform portable cases, and are long, and furnished with ambulatory feet. Sericaria, Latr., has both sexes winged, and the upper wings are not denticulated on the inner margin. B. (lis-pat. Fab. [the Gipsy Moth].

Notodonta, Ochs., has the inner margin of the wing denticulated, [whence these insects are called Promi-nent Moths]. Orgyia, Ochs., differs from the preceding by having the females almost wingless. B. antiqua, Fab. [theVapourer Moth]. Limacodes, Latr., differs from all in having the caterpillars like Wood-lice, and which seem also to representthe Polyommati amongst the diurnal species. H. Tesiudo and Asellus, Fab. Psyche, Schrank., the caterpillars of which form portable cases of silk, to which they aflix bits of stick, thusresembling the nests of the Caddice-flies. Some of the species, from the East Indies and Senegal, are very remark-able in their terminal Pseudo-Bombyces have the proboscis very distinct and elongated. Chelonia, God.
