PREFACE.

The present part of the ' Illustrations ' is a faunistic monograph, containing a systematic
list o£ all the Lepidoptera Heterocera hitherto recorded from the Nilgiri district of S. India,
and descriptions and figures of the numerous new species in the collection in the British
Museum. It has been prepared by Mr. G. F. Hampson, who has kindly supplied me with
the following particulars as regards the physical features of this district : —

" The Nilgiri district consists of a wedge-shaped spur of mountains, with a base of 30
miles, and an extreme length of 60 miles, running out from the Western Ghats and forming
the commencement of the Eastern Ghats. The plains at the foot of the hills have an average
temperature of some 80° F., whilst the plateau, with a mean temperature of but little over
60" F., is subject to sharp frosts in December and January ; its elevation is from 6000 to
7000 feet, peaks running up to nearly 9000 feet : from the plateau precipitous slopes descend
on the west to the plains of Malabar, but little above sea-level ; on tlie south to the Palghat
Gap, 1000 feet ; and on the north to tlie jNIysore plateau, 3000 feet. The western slopes
forming part of the face of the Ghats get a rainfall of 300 inches, while on the lower slopes
at the eastern end the rainfall does not e.Kceed 30 inches, so that the most diverse conditions
obtain; consequently, while the Western slopes have a tropical Ceylouese fauna, the Eastern
have that characteristic of the arid plains of India ; wliilst on the plateau many outlying
members of the Palaearctic fauna occur."

The materials on which this Monograph has been based are as follows : — 1. A collection
of about 1000 species made by the Author in various parts of the district during the year
1888 and now transferred to the British Museum; to each specimen of this collection the

PREFACE.

exact locality and date of capture were afifixed. 2. A collection of about 700 species made
on the southern slopes by Mr. Alfred Lindsay during the last fifteen years, of which a
selection has been retained for the British Museum. 3. The numerous species of Nilgiri
Moths in Col. C. Swinhoe's Collection ; supplemented by a few species from Mr. F. ]\Ioore's
and the old British Museum Collections.

References and synonymy are only given when they in any way differ from those in Cotes
and Swinhoe's ' Catalogue of the Moths of India/ and the arrangement of that work has
been followed, except in the Pyrales, in which the order of the genera is that adopted in
the British Museum. Mr. Warren, who has recently arranged this part of the Museum
Collection, has kindly placed his Manuscript Notes on the synonymy, so far as they affect
Nilgiri species, at my disposal.

Our best thanks are due to Mr. Hampson for the care and time which he has devoted
to the preparation of this part ; to Mr. Moore and Col. Swinhoe, who have given to him
much assistance during the progress of the work ; and to Prof. Westwood, who has allowed
him free access to the Hope Collection in tiie Oxford Museum.

MELITTIA. — SYNTOMIS. 43

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE NEW SPECIES.

iEGEEIID^.

Melittia dorsatiformis. (Plate CXXXIX. fig. 21.)

Expanse l-j^^ inch.

Male. IMargins and veins black ; apical border very narrow, speckled with a few purple-
grey scales; apical transparent area very large and nearly round, traversed by four veins and
partly by the subcostal upper uervule ; basal area traversed by median vein only; cilia of
both wings brown ; abdominal margin of hind wing fringed with golden hairs : head and
antenniB black, the latter golden brown below ; palpi white in front, black on sides and
behind; thorax black in front, with a steel-blue collar, hind part golden yellow ; abdomen
black above, with narrow white segmental bands and golden hairs, beneath yellow ; fore legs
black, coxa white, femur and tibia golden in front ; mid-legs black, coxa white in front, femur
with two steel-blue bands, tibia clothed with golden hairs behind ; hind legs, coxa black, with
golden hairs behind, femur golden chestnut with long whitish hairs behind, tibia clothed with
long black hairs, a few golden-brown and white ones near the base, and some steel-blue scales
at the joint.

Nearest to M. nepcha, Moore, from which it differs principally in the larger and rounder
apical area and the colour of the legs.

This species is so excellent a mimic of the common Indian Rock-Bee [Apis dorsata), that
the only difference a close observer can detect when they are feeding at the same flower is the
" paddling " of the thick hind legs of the moth to steady itself before the flower.

ZYGiENID^.

Syntomis gelatina. (Plate CXXXIX. fig. 1.)

Expanse 1 inch.

female. Head, thorax, and abdomen brownish black ; collar, first and fifth segments of
abdomen orange, two lateral spots on pectus and three on each side of abdomen of the same
colour ; antenna3 black, white-tipped above ; legs black, mid and hind pairs with a white band
on the tibia : wings brownish black, the hyaline areas slightly ochreous with metallic
reflections ; these areas as in S. libera, Walker, but larger in proportion, especially on the
hind wing, which has only a naiTow black border.

Near S. cvpreipennis , Butler, from which it chiefly differs in having no white spot on
the frons. Also near /S. godart't, Bois., the apical hyaline spots of the fore wing smaller and
placed further from the apex, and also lacking the white frons of that species.

44 ZYG^NID^.

TRICHOLEPIS, g. n.

Palpi short and directed downwards ; antenme ciliated, rather more strongly in the male
than the female : wings clothed with fine hairy scales ; fore wing long, narrow, and pointed ;

so evenly rounded. Fore wing pale purplish brown irrorated with dark scales ; a dark
oblique streak from centre of costa to lower end of cell ; a pale line with dark inner margin

uniform white. Vertex of head and shaft of anteuuEe pure white.

Allied to D. b'inotata, but to be distinguished from that and the other species of the genus
by its brighter coloration and white fold on inner margin of hind wing and white underside.

The genus Dirades was formed for the species with this fold and with rounded outer
margin to hind wing in male, and all the species without the fold and with slightly tailed hind
wing should be placed in the genus Erosia. The species figured as D. adjutaria in Lcp. Ceyl.
iii. pi. 186. fig, 9 is E. verticaria, Feld. ; the species figured as D. binolata being the true
D. adjutaria. The species of the family Erosiidae all rest with the fore wing held more or less
apart from the hind wing ; this habit is carried to its extreme in Gathynia miraria, which
holds its fore wings at right angles to the body, and curled up into a tube, while the hind
wings are closely folded along the abdomen, so that the insect takes the form of a cross.

This family has in reality no affinities with the Gcometres, the larvce being quite different
and nearer to those of the Bombyces, and it is probably allied to the Drepanulidas.
