towards the apex, composed of greenish atoms. Hind wings with
a large oval sulphur-coloured spot in the areolet, separated only by
the median vein from a smaller one in the abdominal margin near
the base, and followed by a subtrigonate divided into three parts by
the median veinlets. Markings on the under side nearly as above,
with the addition of a greenish line along the costa of the fore
wings, bending hindwards at its termination. Hind wings en-

Eusemia fasciatrix, Westw. Cab. Orient. Ent. 67.

48 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA:.

Var. a. Thorax with a broad yellow stripe on each side in
front. Fore wings with several blue spots at the base, and with
three macular white bands; the first of two large subquadrate spots ;
the second of five spots, four of them forming two pairs, the hindmost
one single; the third of five spots. Hind wings luteous with a deep
black border which is much widened at the tips, and with two black
spots, one on the fore border the other on the disk and extending to
the inner border and connected with the hind border by three black
bands, of which the middle one is much broader than the other two ;
three white spots on the hind border. Has much resemblance to
EE, lectrix.

Var. 8. Like var.a.; first band of the fore wings yellow, the
spots almost connected, as are also the pairs of spots in the second
band. Hind wings with two black bands between the discal spot
and the hind border, which contains only two white spots. Silhet.

Var. y. Like var. 8. Fore wings with the second bands com-
posed of three spots, of which the first and second are yellow. Hind
wing's reddish, with only one black band between the discal spot and
the hind border. Silbet.

Var. 6. Like var. 8. Hind wings luteous, with two black bands
between the discal spot and the hind border which contains four
white spots.

Var. e. Like var.a. Thorax with a white spot on each side in
front instead of the stripes. Fore wings with the blue spots less
conspicuous ; first band entire; second composed of four spots, of
which the second forms a short band. Hind wings reddish, more
black at the base, but less so at the tips; fore spot larger and more
angular; discal spot emitting one band. There are many varieties
intermediate between this and the following.

Var. ¢. Like var. e. Fore wings with pale luteous bands, of
which the first is entire; the second is formed by three spots, of
which the second forms a short curved band, and the third is a dot.
Hind wings with only one pale luteous dot on the black border near
the tip.

Var. n. Like var.a. Fore wings with two macular bands, the
first composed of two yellow spots, the second of six rather large
elongated subfusiform white spots. Hind wings red; fore spot an-
gular; discal spot emitting two black bands to the hind border which
contains three white dots. Java. This differs much from all the
preceding vars. in the structure of the second band of the fore wings,

This tribe is merely a section of the great group of Bombycide,
but is here numbered separately in accordance with the usual classi-
fication of Lepidoptera. It does not apparently connect the pre-
ceding tribe with the following, but is nearer allied to the latter than
to the former.

INTRODUCTION.

THE principal object of the present Catalogue has been to | |
give a complete list of the specimens of Lepidopterous Insects
contained in the collection of the British Museum, indicating
at the same time the peculiarities of each, as regards variation
of character, locality, and the source from whence it has been
jderived. With this view, the different individuals of each
| contained in the collection are indicated by the letters
a, 6, c, &c., following the name of the species and its syno-
_nymes, and the description, if it appeared to have been before

| undescribed.

Peet. ae a ss

| This part of the Catalogue of Lepidopterous Insects has
-been prepared and the new species described by Mr. FRancis
_ WaLKER, 80 well known for his attention to this order of

Insects.

|

the discal areolet, from which portion two veinlets are thrown off to
the outer margin, whilst the third proceeds in a direct course to the
costa just before the apex ; median vein four-branched, the veinlets
attaining the outer margin at about equal distances; discal areolet
divided longitudinally by a false vein, which bifurcates at its ex-
tremity, one fork striking the disco-cellular curve of the subcostal,
the other the median vein above and beyond the point where the
second veinlet from the base is thrown off, thus closing the discal
areolet; radial vein replaced by a very faint false vein. Costal vein
of the hind wings wanting; subcostal slightly curving outwards,
terminating in the tail, emitting one veinlet to the anterior margin,
just before the outer angle, another to the outer margin a little be-
-fure the tail; median vein slightly curved, terminating in the tail,
emitting a veinlet to the anal angle; between these two veins is a

INTRODUCTION.

THE principal object of the present Catalogue has been to

give a complete list of the specimens of Lepidopterous Insects

:
|

| contained in the collection of the British Museum, indicating
!

at the same time the peculiarities of each, as regards variations
of character, locality, and the source from whence it has been

derived. With this view, the different individuals of each

_ species contained in the collection are indicated by the letters

a, b, c, &c., following the name of the species and its syno-
nymes, and the description, if it appeared to have been before

undescribed.

The continuation is in hand, and will follow as soon as it is

_ completed.

PART WEE:

Tribe 6. BOMBYCITES.
Bombycina, Stainton, Ins. Brit. Tineina, 4.

: The eleven following families, with the exception of the Drepa-
_nulide, form the Lepidoptera Pomeridiana of Stephens, which are
thus characterized :—

“Palpis pissime duo, breves, plerumque cylindrici. Maxille (aut
proboscis) nulle aut brevissime, submembranacee, non convolute.*
Antenne, mars saltem, plus minusve ciliate vel pectinate, nonnun-
quam serrate. Caput parvum. Thorax raro cristatus. Corpus

sepissime robustum, apice sepe lanuginosum. Ale elongate, tri-
gone, plerumque deflexe, indivise. Larva pedibus sexdecem, ana-
_libus nonnunquam spuriis.”

Lepidoptera Pomeridiana, Steph. Ll. Brit. Ent. Haust. ii. 2.

With the Lithosiide and the tribe of Noctuwites they form the
Noctuo-Bombycides of Hervich-Scheffer. The Lithostide are men-
tioned as a distinct family in the preceding part of this Catalogue,
but are very closely allied to the Arctizde, and may be united with
them and with the tribe of Zyge@nides in one extensive group, which

will admit of several divisions. The great tribe of Noctwites may
very generally be distinguished at first sight from the Bombycites,
but are very little different from some of them in structure.
Herrich-Scheffer distinguishes them from the Liparide by the
ocelli, which are wanting in the latter family, and from the Arctiide
by the costal vein of the hind wings appearing at the base of the
wing.

* This character will not apply to several'of the exotic genera.

In the preceding characters the tribe of Noctwites are included
with the Liparide, from which Herrich-Scheffer distinguishes them
by their possessing ocelli. The same author mentions the want of ,
ocelli in the Lithosiide, as the difference between them and the
Arctiide.

The European Arctie may be divided into four principal
groups, which are represented by A. Caja, A. Hebe, A. maculosa and
A. Casta. The North American species form three groups; the first
with A. Americana belongs to the group of A. Caja; the second
seems to be almust peculiar to North America, and comprises A.
Virgo, A. Dione, A. Nais and A. Phillira ; the third is also pecu-
liar to that region, and contains A. Placeniza.

The Asiatic Hypercompe in the British Museum form four
groups. The first, of H. longipennis, is distinguished by the slender
body and the narrow and elongated fore wings. In H. principalis
and #7. equitalis, the body is rather slender, but the wings are
broader and less elongated. In H. histrio and H. plagiata, the
body is much thicker, and in the fourth group with A. wmperialis it
is very thick.
