the proharpe is longer than the cucullus. The type genus of Agathymini is A gathytnus Freeman.
Subfamily MEGATHYM1NME (Holland) Stallings & Turner
This subfamily has in the pupa a cremaster that is broadly rounded at the terminal end, unlike any of the iEgialinae, and has dense, stiff, long bristles but lacks cremaster hooks. The vaginal plate of the female is simple and thin.
The classification of the Megathymidae would then appear to be as follows:—

PORTION OF INGHAM COLLECTION ACQUIRED BY YALE UNIVERSITY
Through the intercession of Christopher Henne, the magnificent series of aberrations of Euphydryas, both bred and field-caught by the late Charles Henry Ingham, has been purchased from Mrs. Ingham for the Entomology section of the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University. Also obtained were various aberrations and hybrids of other genera, certain groups of immediate research interest at Yale (Glaucopsyche xerceSj PapiliOj Anthocaris, Colias, Philotes, etc.), and miscellaneous moths. Most of the specimens were taken by Mr. Ingham in California. (See Ingham obituary by Mr. Henne: Lepid. News 11: 169-170.)
Another valuable addition to the study series in the Peabody Museum came with the gift by Carl G. Kirkwood of a very large number of mounted Rhopalocera from California and Arizona. Mr. Kirkwood has concentrated his attention on the Geometridas and disposed of his Rhopalocera collection to the Los Angeles County Museum, Yale, and various private collections.
