PREFACE.
The Alucitidsc (Pterophorida;) comprise a group of small slenderly- built moths, with narrow wings and long legs, which are commonly known as " Plume-moths ", the wings being cut by longitudinal clefts into distinct segments which in some genera have a feathery appearance, C^n this account, the members of this Family are generally easy to recog- ■ nize, but there is one section (the Agdistii.as) in which the wings are not cleft, although even here there is some diminution of scaling on the areas which are developed into clefts in the other subfamilies.
The following characters are diagnostic of the Family : — Head often •*ith forked scales, frons smooth or with conical horny prominence or tuft of scales, ocelli usually obsolete (sometimes present but never very easily seen). Tonguo developed. Maxillary palpus obsolete. Fore- wing with 1* simple or shortly furcate, 5 remote from 1, neuration often much reduced, wing usually cleft into two (rarely three or four) seg- ments. Hindwing with 5 remote -from 4, 7 remote from G, lower surface with a more or less developed double row of dark spine -like scales on lower margin of cell, wing usually cleft into three segments. Cilia con- taining ramified hair-scales.
The Alucitidre are easily separated from all other Lepidoptera by their unique possession of the series of spine-like scales on the lower surface of the hindwing.
This Family is cousideted by some authors as belonging to the Pyra- lidina and has some Pyralid affinities, but it is vOTy isolated and it is probably better to treat it as a separate entity.
The larva is rather short, usually with well developed fascicles of hairs in the free-living forms, but these are necessarily much reduced in the case of internal feeders. As a rule, the larvae feed on the flowers and fruit of their host-plants, but in a few cases they tunnel in stems or fleshy fruits or feed between leaves or tunnel in leaves. The pupa is usually hairy, attached by the tail by means of a double cremaster ; there is occasionally a very slight cocoon but generally the pupa is freely erposed.
In the following List seventy-eight species are enumerated as Indian but it is certain that more remain to be discovered. Of the Indian species, the early stages and food plants of only thirty-five are definitely known and even of these some have not been found in India, so that a wide field still remains unexplored in the biology of this group.
The very wide distribution of many species is noteworthy and seems to be natural, the Plume-moths being especialLy adapted by their structu; o
to (listributiou by means of wiuds, especiully by tlie uj>per crurrcnfs, by wliicli they may be carried to very long distances with little exeitiou on their part. Tliis wide distribution results in a very long and seattered list oi relerences for many of the. Indian species ; in the case oi extra» Indian references, these have been restricted to the more inijjortant mws bearing on descriptions, figures, synonymy, bionomics and distvibution,, as the inclusion of every reference in entomological literature to species- couiaiou in Europe and North America would have swollen the list un- duly without adding ti; its usefulness to Indian workers on thiy Eumily^
