Extract

The Epiplemidæ are a family of moths fairly well represented in India. (see Hahpson's Moths of India, III., 121.) Only one larva is known, that of Epiplema latifasciata, Moore, and unfortunately the figure is insufficient to show more than that the feet are normal five abdominal pairs, and the setæ probably single. The family occurs also sparingly in America. Hulst lits three genera as a subfamily of Geometridæ the Strophidiinæ (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. XXIII., 309); but I would certainly prefer Hampson's treatment, both as to the name and rank of the group.
