Excerpt from Special Bulletin, Hatch Experiment Station of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, the Pterophoridae of North America The species of moths taken up in this work are known by the common names of plume-moths and feather-wings. They have been studied but very little, and our knowledge of the early stages and habits of a large proportion of our native American species is very imperfect, but it is hoped that our entomologists will give more attention to them hereafter.
