LONDON: PRINTED BY EDWARD NEWMAN, 9, DEVONSHIRE STREET, BISHOPSGATE. INTRODUCTION. THE object of the present Catalogue has been to give a complete list of the specimens of Lepidopterous Insects con- tained 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 derived. With this view, the different individuals of each species contained in the collection are indicated by the letters a, b, ¢, &c., following the name of the species and its syno- - nymes, and the description, if it appeared to have been before undescribed.

Palpi generally very short, not visible, of moderate length in some species. Antenne serrated or pectinated, longer than the thorax. Abdomen extending more or less beyond the hind wings. Legs stout, pilose; hind tibie with four short spurs. Wings rather long, hardly broad. Fore wings hardly con- vex along the costa, rounded at the tips, very oblique along the ex- terior border ; first and second inferior veins almost contiguous at the base ; third near the second and about thrice further from the fourth. Female.——Oviduct serrated. The few species of this genus differ much from each other in the length of the palpi, in the antenne and in other characters, but have great general mutual resemblance, and are therefore not divided from the genus of the typical species C. ligniperda.

The Zygenide (including the pip aie and Gilaucopides of Boisduval), the Chalcosiide, the Lithostide and the Arctiide form a natural and definite group, which is connected, by means of T7i- chosoma and some other genera, with the other great group, which contains the Liparide, Psychide, Notodontide, Limacodide, Dre- panulide, Saturniide, Bombycide, Cosside and Hepialide. The two groups, each of which may be distinguished by a name, mostly differ from each other by the following characters :-— First group. Flight very generally diurnal. Proboscis or maxille very generally developed. Palpi generally elongated. An- tenne simple or moderately pectinated. Body slightly or mode- rately hairy. Wings with bright and frequently with metallic colours or vitreous. Connected with the Hesperiide through the Castnit and the Cydimonii, with the Noctuites by some genera of Arctiide, and apparently with the Pyralttes and the Tineites by a few Lithosiida, and with the following group by means of Tricho- soma and Orgyia, &c. Second group. Flight very generally nocturnal. Proboscis very generally obsolete. Palpi very frequently short and concealed. Antenne most often very deeply pectinated in the males. Body, with a few exceptions, very hairy. Wings (excluding the Satur- ntide) dull or white, rarely thinly feathered or vitreous. Connected with the Noctuites through some genera of Notodontide, with the Tineites by the Psychide, and closely joined to the 4’geriide by means of the Cosstde, which family may also connect them with Depressaria and other ’Micro-Lepidoptera. 1600 , CATALOGUE OF - Page 141.

It has much affinity to the Zygenide, and also to the Pyralites. The wings are very generally more or less black, occasionally with a metallic hue, very frequently adorned with bright colours, or partly limpid. | Page 293. J OSIA MITIS.
