PRINTED BY TAYLOR AND FRANCIS, RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. is _ PREFACE, As the whole scheme and scope of the work of which the present volume is the first instalment is fully explained in the Introduction, very little is required from me by way of preface. It may be easily understood that the publication of a monograph of a group like the Lepidoptera Phalene, containing such an enormous number of species, already known, or likely to be dis- covered during the progress of the work, is an undertaking of very considerable magnitude, but it is one which, if successfully accom- plished, will be of proportionate value to the systematic zoologist. The Trustees of the British Museum believe that the work has been undertaken under conditions which are as favourable as possible. The author, Sir George Hampson, has already shown, in his ‘Handbook of the Moths of British India, his capacity for treating the subject in a manner likely to produce confidence in his methods; he has under his hands in the Museum a collection already of exceptional richness, and rapidly increasing, and, what is of the greatest importance, he is in friendly relations with all the other workers at the group in various parts of the world. The strict regulation of the British Museum which does not allow of unique specimens being under any circumstances sent away from the establishment, though on the whole salutary as regards the preservation and ultimate accessibility of type specimens, has undoubtedly its disadvantages in relation to the interchange otf facilities for examination ; but it is gratifying to be able to report to how great an extent these disadvantages have been overcome, thanks to the courtesy of so many entomologists which it is now my privilege to acknowledge. Owing to the kind way in which everyone appealed to has responded to the request for assistance, and the great amount of trouble they have been willing to take in forwarding material from their collections required for examination, a very large propor- tion of types of the species described have been examined whilst preparing the volume, as will be seen by looking through the text. vi PREFACE. The British Museum Collection is now very rich in species of Syntomide, a large number of them having been added during the past year, notably the Godman-Salvin Collection, from Central America, of this and other families, which has now been handed over to the Museum. The whole of the species of Syntomide in Dr. Staudinger’s magnificent collection have been submitted for eXamination, and an opportunity of acquiring specimens of most of the species has been afforded us. From the Neotropical region Mr. W. Schaus has presented many species and submitted all his types; whilst Mr, Herbert Druce and M. Paul Dognin of Paris have lent all their types for examination and description, as also has Prof. Poulton the types described by F. Walker which are in the Oxford Museum. From the -Ethiopian region Dr, W. J. Holland, D.D., of Penn- sylvania, has lent all the types described by him from W. Africa, and presented co-types of many of them to the Museum ; and from s. Africa the collections of Mr, G. A. k. Marshall and Miss F, Barrett have provided specimens of most of the species oceurring in that subregion; whilst Prof. Aurivillius, of Stockholm, has lent the types described by Wallengren, M. Paul Mabille has submitted the types of species described by him from Africa and Madagascar, and Dr. H. Lenz of Liibeck and Dr. yon Heyden of Frankfort those described by Saalmuller. From the Oriental region the collections of Mr. J. H. Leech, from Japan and China, have been examined, also those of Mr. H. J. Elwes from India, and specimens of many of them have been presented by the latter, as well as of many species collected by Mr. W. Doherty in the Malayan subregion. The Curator of the Devon and Exeter Muscum has sent the few species described by F. Walker the types of which are in that Museum, and Dr, R, Gestro, of Genoa, the species collected by Fea in Burma, From various parts of the Malayan subregion we have received large collections made by Mr. Doherty, Herr P. C. T. Snellen has lent the types of his species, Herr Frihstorfer of Berlin has presented specimens of the species taken by himself in Java and Celebes, as well as many from Brazil, and Herr F. Rober, of Dresden, has lent or presented specimens of the Malayan species described by himself. From the Australian region, Mr. E, Meyrick has lent us the types of his species from New Guinea and Australia which are in his collection, and the Trustees of the Macleay Museum others which are at Sydney. PREFACE, vil Lastly the Hon. Walter Rothschild has lent all the types described by Felder in the ‘ Reise Novara’ which are in his immense collec- tion, and has placed all the rest of his material at our disposal for examination. Prof. Harrison G. Dyar, of the United States National Museum. Washington, and Dr. T. A. C. Chapman, have very kindly looked over the parts of the Introduction relating to the early stages of the Lepidoptera, of which they have made a special study, and have made many suggestions and corrections which have been of the greatest possible value. Dr. A. G. Butler has given the author the advantage of his assistance in revising the proof-sheets. As the coloured illustrations of new or hitherto inadequately figured species, though of the greatest value to the progress of zoology, are not essential to the plan of the work, and if in- corporated would have added greatly to its cost, it has been thought best to issue them separately, and to produce the text alone at a price which may make it readily accessible to all working entomologists.
