PREFACE.
_ Tue object of the present Catalogue is to give a com-
blete list of all the genera and species of Deltoides known
exist in the different collections. The letters a, 0, ¢,
&e., after the pide: denote the specimens now contained
in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the mode
‘a
.
ay
in which each of them was obtained, and the absence of
these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and
aration and will shortly appear.

FOURTH SERIES.
Tribe 8. DELTOIDITES.
Corpus sepissime gracile, semper leve. Proboscis gracilis,
mediocris, plerumque bene determinata. Palpi compressi, ascen-
denies, nunguam incumbentes, caput semper superantes, nonnun-
quam super thoracem reversi, nonnunquam porrecti; articulus 2us
longus; 3us bene determinatus, 20 sepe flexus. Antenne longe,
graciles. Thorax brevis, rowundatus, vix convexus, anlice nunquam
elevatus, tegulis nunquam ascendentibus. Abdomen longum, non
robustum, vix pilosum. Pedes longi, non villosi; tibie antice
femoribus valde breviores, sepe tumide et fasciculate ; intermedize
bicalcarate ; postice quadricalcarate ; calcaria longa, valida. Ale
ample, tenues, raro dentate, nunquam dum quietem agunt elevate
aut deflexe. Mas.—Antenne pubescentes, setulose, aut pectinate.
Deltoides, Latr.; Guen. Delt. et Pyral. 1.
Body generally slender, always smooth. Proboscis slender,
‘most often distinct and of moderate length, occasionally very short.
_Palpi compressed, ascending, never incumbent, always extending
beyond the head, BometiEnes reverted and applied to the thorax ;
_ second joint long; third distinct, often forming a flexure with the
second. Abtenges long, slender, pubescent, setulose or pectinated
in the male. Thorax short, rounded, hardly convex, with the hairs.

or tegule never elevated. Abdomen long, not robust, hardly
pilose. Legs long, not pilose; fore tibia much shorter than the
femora, often inflated and tufted; middle tibie with two spurs;
hind tibie with four spurs, which are generally long and stout. —
Wings ample, delicate, rarely denticulated, never elevated or
wrapped round the body in repose; the fore pair never entirely
hiding the hind pair. Fore wings most often with an areolet above
the discal one, of which it is independent, always curved, and
having about it the superior veins, which are unequally located ;
four inferior veins; submedian vein simple. Hind wings with the
costal and subcostal veins united near their origin; the first simple ;
the second forked.
Guenée’s arrangement, which separates this tribe from the
Noctuttes, will probably be much modified by future observations, |
for in the latter group several of the families are more distinct from |
each other than some of them are from many species which that
author includes in the Deltovdiies.

Platydide, Guen. Delt. et Pyral. 11.
Palpi long, much ascending, extending above the head; third
joint always distinct, shorter than the second, often spatulate.

in colour and with like markings ; exterior border always angular or

Body slender. Head with an acute porrect frontal tuft. Pro-
boscis short. Palpi porrect, pilose, often as long as the thorax ;
second joint very long; third generally lanceolate, forming in most
species an angle with the second, and frequently not more than one-
fourth of its length. Antenne slender, more than half the length of
the body, often subserrated and ciliated in the male, hardly ciliated
in the female. Thorax squamous. Abdomen smooth, often
crested, not extending beyond the hind wings. Leys slender,
hardly pilose; bind tibie with long spurs. Wings broad. Fore
wings acute, generally subfalcate; exterior border slightly convex
aud oblique.

The European species form five groups, of which the first and
the second are nearly allied. The third is more distinct, on account
of its robust shape and its crested abdomen; it is closely allied to
the Noctuites, from which some of the exotic species included in it

can hardly be distinguished. The fourth and fifth groups also dif-
fer much in structure from Hypena, and may be considered as dis-
Group lI.

28 . CATALOGUE OF
The North American species will form eight groups. The
first corresponds to the second, and the second to the third, of the ©
European groups ; the third much resembles the second, but differs —
in the markings of the fore wings; the fourth differs from the first
in the more oblique exterior border of the fore wings; the fifth has
some resemblance to Herminia in the structure of the palpi; in the
sixth the fore wings are less ample, and in the seventh they are
more elongate than those of the first group; the eighth is dis-
tinguished by its short palpi.

distinct from all the preceding and all the following groups, with

by the colour of the wings, by the quadrate form of the fore wings,
and by the long straight stout palpi, of which the third joint does

Seven groups, of which the first is like the second European’

tinct characters and more resembling some of the Nuctuztes ; in the
third the palpi are long and nearly erect, and the submarginal line
of the fore wings is very distinct and regular; the fourth has porrect
and very long palpi, aud the exterior line of the fore wings is con-
tinued regularly on the hind wings ; the fifth is distinguished by its
long narrow fore wings, which are especially acute in the male; the
_ sixth has long slender palpi and antenne; the seventh is dis-
tinguished by the narrow fure wings and by the palpi, of which the
third joint is lounger in the female than in the male.

Male. Body slender. Frontal tuft prominent, acute. Pro-

obliquely ascending; third joint lanceolate, less than half the length
of the body. Antenne slightly pectinated, about half the length

This genus has some resemblance to the Herminide in the
structure of the palpi, and is very like many of the Geomeitrites in
the markings of the wings, but agrees with the Hypenide in the
frontal tuft.
