PREFACE.

Tue ninth part of the ‘Illustrations’ is devoted to the Macrolepidoptera Heterocera of

Ceylon. It is divided into two portions :—

1. A systematic list of all the species known at present, with enumeration of the localities in Ceylon from which they have been recorded, and with references to the literature supplementary to those given in F, Moore’s ‘ Lepidoptera of Ceylon’ and in Cotes and

Swinhoe’s ‘ Catalogue of the Moths of India.’

2. The descriptive portion, which contains diagnoses of all the species figured. In accordance with the principal object of the work, the figures are restricted to those species of which the types are preserved in the British Museum, and which are described either now for the first time, or were published in previous works, provided that the types have not been already satisfactorily figured elsewhere. If the same plan were methodically carried out in other Museums and Collections containing types of published species, much labour and error would be spared to the student, and much confusion avoided in nomenclature. Many

Walkerian species have been re-examined and are figured in the present part.

The greater portion of the materials for this contribution to the Ceylonese Fauna was obtained from a fine collection formed by Mr. E. E. Green, the whole of which he offered to the British Museum on the condition that the Trustees would publish the descriptions of the new species in a part of the ‘ Illustrations.’ This proposal was agreed to, Mr. Green’s

Collection being subsequently largely supplemented by a Jiberal gift of specimens selected

1V PREFACE.

from the collections of the Hon. F. M. Mackwood and of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Butt, while Major J. W. Yerbury presented the whole of his Trincomali collection. Mr, Hampson, the author of the preceding part of the ‘Illustrations,’ offered his services for the investi-

gation of these materials and the preparation of the present part.

The value of Mr. Green’s donation was greatly enhanced by a series of beautiful drawings illustrating the metamorphoses of many of the species observed by him. Such as

have not been already figured by Mr. Moore, are reproduced here on two of the plates.

With regard to the localities where the collections mentioned above have been made,

Mr. Hampson has supplied me with the following particulars :—

“Mr. Green has collected chiefly in the Central Province, which has an elevation of some 3000 ft., and was once covered with forest. However, this has been almost entirely cleared away to make room for coffee-plantations, which in their turn have given way to tea. The fauna of this region is closely akin to that of the forested hill-districts of Southern India, whilst its highest point, the Newera-Elyia plateau with an elevation of over 6000 ft., has a somewhat isolated fauna with slight Paleearctic affinities. This Central Province is the best known part of Ceylon, and has been carefully worked for many years. Its Heterocera were very fully represented in Mr. Green’s collection, particularly as he had been able to

select also from the species taken by Mr. J. Pole, F. B. Armstrong, and others.

“The Hon. F. M. Mackwood collected chiefly in the same planting districts, and also largely in the low-lying forest district of S. Ceylon which has a somewhat peculiar fauna, in Colombo and the Northern Province, the fauna of which is similar to that of the

Indian plains.

“Mr, and Mrs. T. B. Butt collected in the low-lying Kelani Valley of the southern forests ; whilst Major Yerbury worked at Trincomali on the E. coast. This district has a special interest, offering marked affinities with the fauna of the Andamans as well as with that of Peninsular India. It had never been touched except by the collectors of the ‘ Novara,’

most of the Ceylon species described by Felder being here rediscovered.”

PREFACE. Vv

The author has been compelled to omit from the list of Ceylonese Heterocera the species which the late Mr. F. Walker described from Mr. E. L. Layard’s collection in the British Museum ‘ Catalogue,’ the types of which, however, were never in the Museum. These insects were placed by him in families and genera to which they have no relation whatever, and the specimens having been lost for over twenty years (as Mr. Layard informs me), there is scarcely any hope that the species will ever be recognized. They will be found enumerated in a separate list, as well as a few species named by T. Nietner (‘The Coffee-tree and

its Enemies,’ Colombo, 1880), of which likewise the descriptions are quite insufficient.

A few of the Plates had been executed or printed before the manuscript of the text was sent to press. As some additional materials had been received in the interval, the nomenclature of some of the species was revised, and some changes were adopted in the text,

which are duly indicated in footnotes.

Our best thanks are due to the generous donors whose names have been mentioned above; to Mr. F'. Moore, who has given to the author every assistance in allowing him free access to his large collections of Ceylonese Lepidoptera ; and especially to Mr. Hampson,

who has spared neither time nor labour in the preparation of this Monograph.

56 EUPTEROTIDA.—SPHINGIDA.

Tagora murina, Moore. (Plate CXLI. fig. 18.) Tagora murina, Moore, Ann. NV. H. (4) xx. p. 347.

Expanse ¢ 33 inches.

Female. Ruddy brown, instead of greyish fawn-colour as in male. Fore wing with two small obliquely superposed transparent spots at the end of the cell; the double outer line nearly straight and not slightly convex as in the male.

SPHINGIDZ. CHAROCAMPINA.

Cherocampa theylia, Linn. (Plate CLXXV. fig. 1.) Sphinx theylia, Zinn. Syst. Nat. xii. p. 803. 24.

Larva (adult). Dorsal area brown, lateral whitish, ventral grey ; a dorso-lateral ochreous streak with darker outlines from first to end of third somite; a large ocellus on fourth somite, ochreous, outlined in black and centred with pink above, black below; a series of six decreasing ocelli on an ochreous line from fifth to tenth somites, ochreous, outlined in black and centred with brown; the eleventh somite bears a short pale-coloured horn, which is thick at base and rapidly runs to a point; an ochreous streak from each side of the horn to the posterior end; numerous short dark brown strige on the dorsal and lateral areas from

the fifth to anal somite. Stigmata outlined in brown and somewhat inconspicuous. Legs brown.

Length 24 inches.

Feeds on Rubiacee of several species, Anotis, Hedyotis, &c.

Cherocampa rafflesii, But. (Plate CLXXV. fig. 3.) Cheerocampa rafflesii, Butl. Tr. L. Soc. 1876, p. 556.

Larva (adult). Rich dark chocolate-brown; paired series of some seven dorso-lateral irregular ochreous-white spots on the thoracic somites, increasing in size posteriorly ; a paired series of seven dorso-lateral ocelli on fourth to tenth somites, the first largest, ochreous white, outlined in black and centred with black spotted with ochreous, the other six centred with brown ; the eleventh somite bears a long, straight, blunt horn, which is dark brown with the tip ochreous, from the base of which two crimson streaks extend antero-laterally, forming a V-mark with black between the arms ; on each side of the anal somite is a crimson streak, the two meeting posteriorly, with black between them ; a lateral band of numerous small

CHEROCAMPA.,. oT

ochreous-white specks from the first somite to the end of the eleventh. The stigmata are dark, outlined in black, and hardly visible. Legs crimson. Blown larva 3} inches, Feeds on the same Rubiacee as C. theylia.

Cherocampa vinacea. (Plate CLVII. fig. 26 & Plate CLXXV. figs. 2, 2a.)

Expanse 22 inches.

Male. Closely allied to C. rafflesii, Butl.; the fore wing longer and slightly narrower and suffused with lilac; the lateral streak on head and thorax is almost pure white, as also are the antenne and fore legs, and the coloration of the insect generally is much brighter.

Larva (adult). Pale vinous brown; a very narrow medio-dorsal black line from first to fourth somite; a pair of paler dorso-lateral streaks on the thoracic somites; the fourth and fifth somites bear paired dorso-lateral ocelli, which are oval in shape and ochreous, outlined in black and centred with brown, in the first ocellus dark brown with an ochreous streak, the second with crimson streak ; some dorsal and lateral black strize on sixth to tenth somites ; the stigmata are white outlined in black and conspicuous; the fourth to terminal somites have scattered white lateral specks; the horn shorter than in C. rafflesid, straight and pointed, dark brown with a white tip; paired dark antero-lateral streaks from its base forming a V-mark ; anal somite with paired pale streaks joined posteriorly.

Blown larva 3} inches. Feeds on several species of Impatiens.

Pupa. Dull fawn-colour, minutely speckled with brown; the stigmata on abdominal

segments enclosed in a round black spot.

The larva of this species belongs to Weismann’s second group of Cherocampa, while those of C. theylia and rafflesii belong to the third group.

The imagos of C. theylia, rafflesii, and vinacea are almost indistinguishable, and whether we have here three species breeding true, or the larve are affected by some condition of life in shape of horn as well as colour and number of ocelli, we have no evidence to show.

Cherocampa butus, Cram. (Plate CLXXYV. fig. 10.)

Sphinx butus, Cram. Pap. Evot. ii. p. 58.

Larva (adult). Pale green, thickly speckled with darker spots and strize on fifth to tenth somites ; the fourth somite swollen, bearing a pair of large ocellated spots, green, bordered with yellow above and pink below, and with a central linear white spot ; a pale lateral line with dark upper edge from anterior edge of fifth somite to root of horn; stigmata edged with pink; horn purple, stout and curved. Legs pink ; claspers green.

Feeds on Vitis.

There is a variety in which the green colour is replaced by brown, with the exception of the ocellated spots, which remain olive-green. In some specimens there are traces of irregular diagonal stripes between the spiracles.

The young larva has a long thin horn recurved at tip.

58 SPHINGIDA,

Semper’s figures of the larva (Verh. zool.-botan. Ges. Wien, pl. 23. ff. 3a, 30, 3c) are not very good and there is no description.

The larva having but one ocellus does not belong to any of Weismann’s three groups, but is transitional between the first and second.

Pupa. Pale ochreous brown: abdominal somites profusely striated with olive-brown and fuliginous markings; wing-cases suffused with brown; anterior half of abdominal somites

reddish ; stigmata black ; anal somite deeply concave and armed with a stout spine.

MACROGLOSSINA.

Macroglossa helis, Cram., var. troglodytes, Boisd. (Plate CLVII. fig. 6.) Macroglossa troglodytus, Boisd. § Guen. Lép. Noct. 1. p. 344.

Expanse 1} inch.

Male. Head, thorax, and abdomen dull red-brown, the proximal segments of abdomen with orange lateral, patches, the distal segments with dark red-brown patches and small lateral white tufts; underside of head white, of thorax yellowish white, of abdomen dull brown with medial yellowish patches. Fore wing purplish brown, with a darker antemedial band expanding towards inner margin; a medial band curved below the costa; traces of a postmedial curved line and indistinct subapical patch. Hind wing with a dark basal patch ; a broad medial orange-yellow band and marginal red-brown band. Underside of fore wing red-brown, with one indistinct medial and two postmedial lines: of hind wing orange, with

three transverse lines and broad marginal red-brown band.

Differs from the typical form in its smaller size, narrower wings, and more orange underside to hind wing.

Macroglossa belia. (Plate CLVII. fig. 15.)

Expause 24, inches.

Female. Allied to M. belis, Cram., from which it differs in having the medial band across the fore wing grey, erect, and regular; the costal margin beyond the discal curved band grey, and the underside not suffused with red, but dull brown, with the base and inner

margin of hind wing orange, and with scarcely a trace of the markings on either wing.

Macroglossa glaucoptera, Buti. Macroglossa glaucoptera, Butl. P. Z. S. 1875, p. 241, pl. 36.

Expanse 3 14} inch. Male. Differs from the female in the fore wing being considerably darker, and the orange band of the hind wing narrower ; the anal tufts ferruginous at tips.

MACROGLOSSA.—NETRIA. 59

Macroglossa gilia, Herr.-Schiff. (Plate CLXXV. fig. 6.) Macroglossa gilia, H.-S. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. pl. 23. fig. 107.

Larva (adult). Bright green ; a pale medio-dorsal stripe with brownish median line; a pale dorso-lateral stripe, edged above with reddish brown, the space between this and the medio-dorsal stripe speckled with minute brownish spots; stigmata black; 8-9 brownish diagonal stripes alternating with the spiracles ; below the medio-dorsal line minutely speckled with white; horn black, with yellow tips. Legs pink ; claspers brownish.

There is a paler variety of the larva in which the red-brown markings are replaced by olive-green.

Feeds on Rudbiacee.

Pupa dull yellowish brown; stigmata enclosed in large blackish spots; anal spine black.

Mr. Butler’s figure (Trans. Zool. Soc. 1876, pl. 90. figs. 9, 10) is of a young larva of M. pyrrhosticta from Japan, from a drawing by G. Lewis, and not M. gilia. —

NOTODONTIDA.

Ramesa luridivitta. (Plate CLX. fig. 12.)

i Expanse ¢ 1} inch.

Male. Fore wing fuscous, with reddish streaks from the upper end of cell to apex, and from origin of the first median nervule to outer margin, both broad externally ; a series of black specks on small white spots on the margin. Hind wing pale fuscous. Antenne pale ;

head and thorax smoky black ; abdomen fuscous.

A dark race of R. tosta, W\k., the fore wing with no postmedial series of specks.

Fore wing yellowish white, the veins pure shining white; a ferruginous red band across the middle of cell from near costa to near inner margin, broken into spots by the veins ; then a broader band consisting of a spot occupying the end of the cell, and a larger spot below it nearly reaching the inner margin; three narrow concave bands beyond the cell from near costa to near outer angle formed of ferruginous and dark scales. Hind wing and underside uniform golden yellow, the veins whiter. Antenne filiform.

This sex bears a remarkable general resemblance to Narosa conspersa, and is totally unlike the male.

Larva. Oval, convex above, and smooth; pale greenish blue with longitudinal dorsal and lateral stripes and series of lunular markings of a deeper shade—not on the exterior, but seen through the thick cuticle.

It spins a compact whitish cocoon between two leaves. The moth escapes by a lid-like opening at one end. This lid must be prepared by the larva prior to pupating, for should the pupa die the cocoon will still break open in the same manner if pressure be applied from within.

Pseudoblabes oophora, Zell. (Plate CLVIII. fig. 14.) Pseudoblabes oophora, Zell. Bull. Soc. Mosc. 1853, p. 514.

Expanse ¢ 2 inch. Female. Differs from the male in the costal fold on the underside of the fore wing being

slighter; the hind wing is fuscous, the apex not excised, and without the tuft of raised scales.

This genus resembles Padenia in the strong costal fold to the fore wing and the excised apex of the hind wing in the male; but differs from it in venation and in having a patch of modified scales below the costa of the hind wing instead of a tuft of hairs on the costa in the male. Zeller’s description of the venation is unsatisfactory, and his figure much more so ; in the fore wing the fifth subcostal comes off from the end of the cell which is closed ; in the hind wing the costal is emitted close to the end of the cell, running through the patch of scales to the apex; the subcostal bifurcates before the margin; the cell is open, the median nervure gives off the first and third medians, the second median and discocellular being aborted fragments which end abruptly. In the female the cell of the hind wing is closed, there is a radial from the discocellulars, and two median nervules.

HEMONIA.—HOLOCRASPEDON. 83

Hemonia flava. (Plate CLVILII. fig. 5.) Expanse ¢ 4 inch. Male. Head, thorax, and abdomen yellow, the last rather darker above. Fore wing yellow, slightly suffused with purplish fuscous, except the costa and apex; cilia slightly

margin pale ochreous.

HOLOCRASPEDON, g. n.

Antenne and palpi as in Padenia and Garudinia, Moore; the fore wing is broader, the apex more acute, and outer margin straighter, and the costa of hind wing is straighter. Male with the apex of hind wing not excised nor with the costal tuft of long hairs to the hind wing of Padenia, or the sexual brand on the underside of the fore wing of Garudinia, nor is there a costal fold to the fore wing.

Fore wing with a costal nervure ; two subcostal branches before the end of the cell; the third from the end and bifid; a radial from angle of discocellulars ; the lower radial and upper median branch from the lower end of the cell; the two lower branches from before the end; submedian nearly straight.

Hind wing with the costal nervure given off from the subcostal near the end of the cell ; the subcostal branches near the apex ; the radial and upper median branch from the lower end of the cell; the two lower branches from before the end; an internal nervure, but no submedian.

Fore leg with no tibial spine; mid legs with a terminal pair; hind legs with two pairs,

as in Padenia and Garudinia.

In Padenia, type transversa, the third subcostal of the fore wing 1s trifid; the disco- cellulars very short, with the upper median branch in the male springing from the lower end of the cell; the two lower branches arising together from a long way before the end; whilst in the female two median branches arise from the lower end of the cell, the upper giving off the radial before the margin.

In Garudinia the third subcostal is bifid and there is a radial as in Holocraspedon ; there is a bifid median branch from the lower end of the cell, and one branch from before the end in both sexes.

In the hind wing of both Padenia and Garudinia the subcostal is terminated by the excision before the bifurcation in the male, and in both sexes a radial and bifid median branch arise from the lower end of the cell, and one median branch arises before the end.

Male with the end of the abdomen black, as in L. lutara from Java. Both sexes differ from the typical form in being smaller and paler, with the black spot at end of cell of fore wing small or wanting; the black markings smaller, and the submarginal band more

irregularly dentate ; the hind wing is not suffused with fuscous.

This may be a distinct species. Both this and the typical form are found in the same district throughout the year.

The /arva of the typical form is mouse-grey, almost black ; each somite densely covered with fine plumose hairs ; a few longer hairs on anterior and posterior somites,

Hind wing entirely smoky black.

Female with the fore wing less suffused with black ; in the most suffused specimens there is an orange patch at the base, two on the costa, one on inner margin, and a marginal orange band on which is a series of marginal black specks; whilst in the least-suffused specimens the black is confined to three irregular bands, one subbasal, another medial from the costa to the first median nervule, and the third postmedial, all three coalescing below the median nervure; the niarginal black specks are prominent, and also the deep black subbasal speck which is present in all; some orange also appears on the hind wing near the anal angle and on the cilia.

Larva. Covered with comminuted lichen arranged in tufts upon particular somites. The colour of the covering varies with that of the lichen upon which the larva has been feeding. The larva itself is cylindrical, smooth, and without any tubercles corresponding to the promi- nent parts of its covering, and has three pairs of prolegs. It feeds on minute lichens growing upon rocks and trees. If several larve are confined together without other food they will feed on the lichens with which they are covered. The cocoon is suspended by a cable of silk

beneath sheltered rocks, and is similarly covered with lichens.
