THE SYSTEMATIC POSITION OF VARINA ORNATA, NEUM.*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  31 May 2012

Extract

For a specimen of this most interesting moth I am indebted to Mrs. Slosson, and after an examination of ti I am unable to find any Bombycine characters, except the heavily pectinated antennæ. In Prof. Smith's List of Lepidoptera it is placed in the Liparidæ between Artaxa and Lagoa, though it bears no resemblance to these moths except in the shape of the antennæ. It has also been regarded as allied to the Cochliopodidæ.
