It might be advisable to set up three subfamilies in the Bombycillidae, one for Bombycilla, one for Hypocolius, and a third for the silky flycatchers, Ptilogonys, Phainopepla and Phainoptila.
The three subfamilies responded to ecological stimuli in three different ways, and the resulting color patterns are unlike in the three groups.
This is the fact; song, as such, is lacking in the three subfamilies Bombycillinae, Ptilogonatinae, and Dulinae.
The skulls in all three subfamilies have essentially the same general appearance and structure, the most marked differences being, as would be expected, in the bills and associated bones.
Both these subfamilies are represented in the Indian fauna, the Plumatellinae by two of the three genera known to exist, and the Lophopinae by two (or possibly three) of the four that have been described.
The following species of these subfamilies are figured by Burmeister: Amphonyx Jatrophæ (loc.
This has already been shown with respect to the Sphingidæ, in which the oblique stripes are only completely developed in the subfamilies Smerinthinæ and Sphinginæ.
The estrildines, serologically, do not closely resemble Passer, Subfamily Passerinae, although recent classifications place these two subfamilies in the Family Ploceidae.
He suggests, therefore, that the two groups of "tanager-finches" be made subfamilies of the Thraupidae and that a third subfamily be maintained for the more typical tanagers.
The richmondenines, emberizines, and tanagers are closely related subfamilies and are here included in the Family Fringillidae.
Present systems of classification include thesubfamilies Passerinae and Estrildinae in the Family Ploceidae.
Specifically, the relationships of the subfamilies Richmondeninae, Emberizinae, and Carduelinae of the Family Fringillidae are poorly understood.
At least the carduelines and the estrildines form a group as compact as the subfamilies of the Fringillidae.
The names of subfamilies that I have been unable to study are included in my classification and are placed in brackets.
The remainder represent the subfamiliesof the Pierinæ, the Papilioninæ, and the family Hesperiidæ.
The genera which are closely related to one another may again be assembled as subfamilies; and the subfamilies may be united to form families.
The submedian vein occupies the position usually held in other subfamiliesby the internal.
This is the largest of all the subfamilies of the butterflies, and is widely distributed, including many of the most beautifully colored and most vigorous species which are known.
The insects belonging to these different subfamilies may be distinguished by the help of the following analytical table, which is based upon that of Professor Comstock, given in his "Manual for the Study of Insects" (p.
In my Monograph I had separated as two different subfamilies the true Trematodiscida (with circular concentric rings) from the Discospirida (with spirally convoluted rings).
In all these four subfamilies the concentric shells are simple (not spongy) fenestrated spheres.
We can distinguish in this family only two genera, with very different structure of the central medullary shell or the first chamber beginning the growth; and these correspond to the two subfamilies of the nearly allied Streblonida (p.
In these four subfamilies the concentric shells are all simple (not spongy) fenestrated spheres or endospherical polyhedra.
The family Dorataspida may be divided into two very different subfamilies, which are probably derived, independently of one another, from two different subfamilies of the Astrolonchida.
The Equatorial Margin of the lenticular disk exhibits in all six families of #Discoidea# similar characters, mainly serving for the distinction of subfamilies and genera.
In all these four subfamilies the concentric shells are simple (not spongy), fenestrated spheres.
The family Tholonida can be divided into three subfamilies according to the disposition of the cupola-pairs in one, two, or three dimensive axes.
From this first subfamily the other two subfamilies of Pylonida must be derived, by repetition of the same characteristic process of growth.
According to its essential shape two different subfamilies and six genera may be distinguished in this family.
The two subfamilies differ in the shape of the terminal mouth, which in the Theocorida is a simple wide opening, in the Theocapsida closed by a lattice-plate.
They are, however, different in the two subfamilies of this group, corresponding to the different origin of the odd or paired main tubes.
Probably the family Cyrtocalpida is an artificial group, comprising two or more different subfamilies of very different origin.
I retain here this natural group in the same sense, but give to it the rank of a "suborder," separating at the same time its four subfamilies as substantial "families.
The last three subfamilies have arisen probably from the first triradial subfamily, by a secondary increase in the number of rays.
The two subfamilies differ in the shape of the basal mouth, which in the Archicorida is a simple wide opening, but in the Archicapsida is closed by a lattice-plate.
The two subfamilies differ in the shape of the basal mouth, which in the Theopilida is a simple wide opening, in the Theoperida closed by a lattice-plate.
I there divided the Spyrida into seven subfamilies and forty-eight genera.
Synopsis of the three Families and six Subfamilies of Dicyrtida.
The two subfamilies differ in the shape of the basal mouth, which in the Archipilida is a simple wide opening, in the Archiperida closed by a lattice-plate; the former are here divided into eight, the latter into seven different genera.
Another important difference between these two subfamilies of Coelographida is found in the arrangement of the main tubes and their connection with the rhinocanna.
The two subfamilies of Coelodendrida therefore exactly correspond to the two subfamilies of the following family, the Coelographida.
The families are the Agrionidae, Aeschnidae and Libellulidae--the first including the subfamilies Calopterygina and Agrionina, the second Gomphina and Aeschnina, and the third Cordulina and Libellulina.
The two proposed subfamilies of the family Diplocercidae are the Diplocercinae and the Rhabdodermatinae.
In considering this concept of classification, the subfamilies Diplocercinae and Rhabdodermatinae of the family Diplocercidae are proposed above.
The members of the family TetraonidA| are usually placed in three subfamilies as follows: (1.
The subfamilies SittinA| and ParinA| are now elevated to full family rank.
The subfamilies TroglodytinA| and MiminA| are now elevated to full family rank.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "subfamilies" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
