II.

_Does the Form-relationship of the Larva coincide with that of the

Imago?_ p. 432.

Family groups, 432. Families frequently completely congruent, 435.

Exception offered by the _Nymphalidæ_, 435. In transitional families

the larvæ also show intermediate forms, 441. Genera; almost completely

congruent; the Nymphalideous genera can be based on the structure of

the larvæ, 444. So also can certain sub-genera, as _Vanessa_, 445.

Incongruence in _Pterogon_, 450. Species; incongruence very common; _S.

Ocellatus_ and _Populi_, 451. Species of _Deilephila_ show a nearer

form-relationship as imagines than as larvæ, 454. Systemy not only the

expression of morphological relationship, 455. Varieties; incongruence

the rule; seasonal dimorphism; climatic varieties; dimorphism of

caterpillars; local varieties of caterpillars, 456. Result of the

investigation, 458. Causes of incongruence, 460. A phyletic vital force

does not explain the phenomena, 461. This force is superfluous, 464.
