There are some species of this family in which the wings of the females are developed like those of the males.[73] Such are the Peppered Moth (_Amphidasis betularia_) and the Currant Moth (_Abraxas grossulariata_), whose caterpillar lives on the red currant and gooseberry, and an immense number known as Thorns, Carpets, Waves, &c. [73] The exception is with those in which the wings are _not_ developed in both cases, and in England this peculiarity is confined to species appearing during the winter and early spring.--ED. [Illustration: Fig. 267.--Nyssia zonaria, male and female.] The section of the _Pyralina_ contains the smallest nocturnal Lepidoptera, and nearly all those tiny species which flutter round our lights in the evening. [Illustration: Fig. 268.--Penthina pruniana.] Here are some drawings of a few of the numerous species of this section, remarkable for their small size and beauty:--_Penthina pruniana_, _Ædia pusiella_, _Xylopoda fabriciana_, _Poedisca autumnana_, _Tortrix roborana_, _Philobacera fagana_, _Tortrix sorbiana_, _Antithesia salicana_, _Poedisca occultana_, _Argyrolepia æneana_, _Sericoris Zinkenana_, _Sarrothripa revayana_, _Cochylis francilana_, _Choreutes dolosana_ (Figs. 268 to 281).[74] [74] Many of these are placed by some authors among the Pyralina, and by others among the Tortricina.--ED. [Illustration: Fig. 269.--Ædia pusiella.] [Illustration: Fig. 270.--Xylopoda fabriciana.] In a book of this kind we can only mention some types among these last insects, which claim our attention in what we might almost call a tyrannical manner. We will, therefore, content ourselves by saying a few words about the Green Tortrix, the Pyralis of the Vine, the Bee-hive Moth, some species of the Clothes Moth family (_Tineina_), and finally of the _OEcophoræ_.
