NEW SPECIES AND NOTES ON STRUCTURE OF MOTHS AND GENERA

Extract

The veins of the wings in the moths are usually considered to fall into four main branches. I would, however, consider them to afford only two series; vein 1 of the German Entomologists belonging to the median series, and vein 12 to the sub-costal series of venules. In describing the neuration of Euherrichia (= Herrichia Grote non Staudinger) I have accidentally written “sub-median” for “median.” Generic characters in the Noctuidœ are offered by the disposition of veins 6 to 9 on the fore wings and of the median series on the hind wings, from which vein 5 is sometimes (Spragueia) absent. In addition there is the presence of an accessory cell to be noted on primaries, which is caused by the peculiar position and course of the subcostal series of venules.
