PREFACE. 

The  Alucitidsc  (Pterophorida;)  comprise  a  group  of  small  slenderly- 
built  moths,  with  narrow  wings  and  long  legs,  which  are  commonly 
known  as  "  Plume-moths  ",  the  wings  being  cut  by  longitudinal  clefts 
into  distinct  segments  which  in  some  genera  have  a  feathery  appearance, 
C^n  this  account,  the  members  of  this  Family  are  generally  easy  to  recog- 
■  nize,  but  there  is  one  section  (the  Agdistii.as)  in  which  the  wings  are  not 
cleft,  although  even  here  there  is  some  diminution  of  scaling  on  the  areas 
which  are  developed  into  clefts  in  the  other  subfamilies. 

The  following  characters  are  diagnostic  of  the  Family  : — Head  often 
•*ith  forked  scales,  frons  smooth  or  with  conical  horny  prominence  or 
tuft  of  scales,  ocelli  usually  obsolete  (sometimes  present  but  never  very 
easily  seen).  Tonguo  developed.  Maxillary  palpus  obsolete.  Fore- 
wing  with  1*  simple  or  shortly  furcate,  5  remote  from  1,  neuration  often 
much  reduced,  wing  usually  cleft  into  two  (rarely  three  or  four)  seg- 
ments. Hindwing  with  5  remote -from  4,  7  remote  from  G,  lower  surface 
with  a  more  or  less  developed  double  row  of  dark  spine -like  scales  on 
lower  margin  of  cell,  wing  usually  cleft  into  three  segments.  Cilia  con- 
taining ramified  hair-scales. 

The  Alucitidre  are  easily  separated  from  all  other  Lepidoptera  by 
their  unique  possession  of  the  series  of  spine-like  scales  on  the  lower 
surface  of  the  hindwing. 

This  Family  is  cousideted  by  some  authors  as  belonging  to  the  Pyra- 
lidina  and  has  some  Pyralid  affinities,  but  it  is  vOTy  isolated  and  it  is 
probably  better  to  treat  it  as  a  separate  entity. 

The  larva  is  rather  short,  usually  with  well  developed  fascicles  of 
hairs  in  the  free-living  forms,  but  these  are  necessarily  much  reduced  in 
the  case  of  internal  feeders.  As  a  rule,  the  larvae  feed  on  the  flowers  and 
fruit  of  their  host-plants,  but  in  a  few  cases  they  tunnel  in  stems  or  fleshy 
fruits  or  feed  between  leaves  or  tunnel  in  leaves.  The  pupa  is  usually 
hairy,  attached  by  the  tail  by  means  of  a  double  cremaster  ;  there  is 
occasionally  a  very  slight  cocoon  but  generally  the  pupa  is  freely  erposed. 

In  the  following  List  seventy-eight  species  are  enumerated  as  Indian 
but  it  is  certain  that  more  remain  to  be  discovered.  Of  the  Indian 
species,  the  early  stages  and  food  plants  of  only  thirty-five  are  definitely 
known  and  even  of  these  some  have  not  been  found  in  India,  so  that  a 
wide  field  still  remains  unexplored  in  the  biology  of  this  group. 

The  very  wide  distribution  of  many  species  is  noteworthy  and  seems 
to  be  natural,  the  Plume-moths  being  especialLy  adapted  by  their  structu;  o 


to  (listributiou  by  means  of  wiuds,  especiully  by  tlie  uj>per  crurrcnfs, 
by  wliicli  they  may  be  carried  to  very  long  distances  with  little  exeitiou 
on  their  part.  Tliis  wide  distribution  results  in  a  very  long  and  seattered 
list  oi  relerences  for  many  of  the.  Indian  species ;  in  the  case  oi  extra» 
Indian  references,  these  have  been  restricted  to  the  more  inijjortant  mws 
bearing  on  descriptions,  figures,  synonymy,  bionomics  and  distvibution,, 
as  the  inclusion  of  every  reference  in  entomological  literature  to  species- 
couiaiou  in  Europe  and  North  America  would  have  swollen  the  list  un- 
duly without  adding  ti;  its  usefulness  to  Indian  workers  on  thiy  Eumily^
