PREFACE,

°

Tue subject of Vol. XI. of the ‘Catalogue of Moths’ is the
classification of the Noctuid subfamilies Huteliane, Stictopterine,

Sarrothripine, and Acontiane,

The Luteliane are represented in the present work by 12 genera
and 175 species, and are characterised as follows:—Vein 5 of the
hind wing is fully developed and arises from close to the angle of
the cell; the frenulum of the female is simple, formed of conjoined
bristles as in the male of other Noctuide, and the abdomen has

paired lateral anal tufts of hair or sometimes a long tubular tuft.

The Stictopterine, with 10 genera and 112 species, are similar, but
the abdomen is without the paired lateral or tubular anal tufts and
the fore wing has small tufts of raised scales in the cell.

The Sarrothripine, with 58 genera and 330 species, have the
frenulum of the female multiple, the retinaculum of the male in
the form of a corneous bar; the fore wing has small tufts of
raised seales in the cell.

The Acontiane, with 70 genera and 324 species, are similar to the
Sarrothripine but are without the raised tufts of scales on the fore
Wing; in some genera and species the bar-shaped retinaculum of
the male has been lost and the retinaculum is formed by a tuft of

hair just below the median nervure as in the females of other

vl PREFACE.

Noctuide ; in three genera vein 5 of the hind wing is somewhat
aborted from below the middle of the discocellulars and in these
the larve are semiloopers with the first two pairs of abdominal
prolegs absent, whilst in all the other forms of the four subfamilies

the four pairs of abdominal prolegs are present.

The four subfamilies are modifications of the great Quadrifid
section of the Noctuide and are almost confined to the tropical and
warmer temperate regions, few genera and species extending to the

colder zones, and none to the Arctic and Alpine zones.

Sir George Hampson has to acknowledge the assistance which
he has received, mostly from those whose help has been referred
to in earlier volumes of the Catalogue, by the loan of types and

specimens, and in other ways.

The coloured drawings which have been made for him from types
of species which are not in the collection of the British Museum,
and of which he has been unable to examine specimens, have been
reproduced and are severally acknowledged in the text.

The Plates published in connection with this volume are numbers
CLXXIV.-CXCLI.,, part of Plate CLXXIV. referring to Vol. X. of
the Catalogue,

British Museum (Natural History), Keeper of Zoology.

paired anal tufts or sometimes a long tubular tuft. Wings usually
triangular, sometimes very long and narrow, in repose mors or
less strongly folded at the discal fold and hanging downwards ;
fore wing with vein 1a@ weak, not anastomosing with 16; le

NOCTUID.

Larva with all the prolegs present, almost smooth, the warts
sometimes produced to slight processes, the thoracic somites some-
times dilated.

Fig. 1.—Larva of Hutelia adulatrix. 4,

The subfamily is a parallel development with the Stictopterine
from the Noctuine, from which it is distinguished by the single
frenulum formed by conjoined bristles in the female and the more or
less developed paired anal pencils of hair or long tubular anal tuft.

220 NOCTUIDA,

Subfamily SARROTHRIPIN &.

Proboscis almost always fully developed, minute in 7’riorbis and
Iscadia; palpi usually long and upturned or with the 2nd joint
oblique and fringed with hair above, the 3rd usually long and some-
times dilated at extremity, often porrect; frons smooth except in
Poliothripa, Triorbis, and Calathusa ; eyes large, naked, without cilia
from their margins; antenne usually ciliated, often somewhat
Jaminate and almost simple, rarely pectinated ; head and thorax
clothed almost entirely with scales, usually without crests or with
depressed crest on metathorax, sometimes with spreading crests on
pro- and metathorax, in Ochthophora the metathorax with very large
oblique crest; tibiee without spines or claws, the fore tibie often
fringed on both sides with long hair; abdomen usually with one or two
crests at base, rarely with a dorsal series of crests. Fore wing usually
rather narrow, the costa arched at base and the margins subparallel,
sometimes more triangular, in @dicraspis with the costa slightly
lobed just beyond middle, the termen usually evenly curved, some-
times oblique or excised towards tornus; vein 1 @ weak and not
anastomosing with 16; 1c¢ absent; 2 from middle of cell; 3 and
5 from near lower angle, in Apothripa veins 3, 4 stalked; 6 from
or from below upper angle; 9 usually from 10 anastomosing with
8 to form an areole which is often very long and narrow or both 9
and 10 anastomosing with 7, 8 to form a minute areole, or the areole
obsolete and veins 7, 8, 9 or 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked, in Sarrothripus
the areole is often absent by vein 7 having become disconnected,
this occurring as a varietal form in many of the species; vein 11
from cell. Hind wing with veins 1 a and 1) present, 1 ¢ absent ;
3, 4 from cell or often strongly stalked or coincident ; vein 5 fully
developed, from or from near lower angle of ceil, often stalked
with 3; 6,7 from upper angle; 8 usually anastomosing with the cell
to middle, sometimes near base only.

The fore wing of male has a strong bar-shaped retinaculum
usually more or legs curled round the frenulum at its tip, and there
are, except in Hligma, slight tufts of scales in middle of cell and on

discocellulars, sometimes also on the ante-, postmedial, and sub-
terminal lines,

Fie, 71.—Larva of Selepa celtis. 1.
g } I

The larvee have all the prolegs present and are sparsely covered
with hair; they form a boat-shaped cocoon of silk, often with
angular projection on dorsum in front, sometimes covered with fices.

SARROTHRIPIN &. 221:

The subfamily is a slight development from the Acontiane, from
which it is distinguished by the small tufts of scales on the fore wing,
the two subfamilies being distinguished from the other subfamilies
of Quadrifid Noctuidae by the bar-shaped retinaculum in the male.

ACONTIAN-E. 455

Subfamily ACONTIAN Z.

Proboscis almost always fully developed, rarely aborted and non-
functional ; palpi usually long and upturned, the 3rd joint sometimes
very long and dilated at extremity, sometimes oblique or porrect and
fringed with hair above, in Topadesa downcurved and rostriform ;
frons almost always smooth, in Leucophanera with a pointed
prominence ; eyes large, round, naked and without cilia from their
margins; antenne usually ciliated, often somewhat laminate and
almost simple, rarely pectinated ; head and thorax usually clothed
almost entirely with scales, sometimes clothed with hair only,
usually without crests or with small crests on pro- and metathorax,

sometimes with ridge-like dorsal crest; tibize without spines or
claws, in Carea and Careades the males ‘of most of the species have
the hind tibize very short with the spurs more or less aborted, the
Ist joint of tarsus very long, dilated and fringed with hair ; abdomen
usually with one or two crests at base, rarely with a dorsal series
of crests or without crests. Fore wing usually broad and triangular,

the termen curved or straight, often with the termen angled or
excurved at middle and excised below apex or towards tornus,
the inner margin sometimes with scale-teeth at middle or tornus ;
vein 1 weak and not anastomosing with 16; 1c absent; 2 from
middle of cell; 3 and 5 from near lower angle, or 3 from well
before angle; 6 from or from below upper angle, rarely from the
areole ; 9 usually from 10 anastomosing with 8 to form the areole
which is often long and narrow, or both 9 and 10 anastomosing
with 7, 8 to form a minute areole, or the areole obsolete and veins
7,8, 9 or 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked, or 8, 9, 10 stalked and vein 7 from
the cell; vein 11 from the cell. Hind wing with the termen
usually evenly curved, sometimes excurved at middle and excised
towards tornus; veins 1 @ and 106 present, 1 ¢ absent; 3, 4 from
angle of cell or stalked; 5 fully developed, usually from or from
just above angle of cell, rarely stalked with 3, 4 or Sige near middle
of discocellulars, vel2s 3, 4 sometimes coincident ; 7 from upper
angle of cell or shortly stalked ; 8 usually eee with the
cell near base only, but often to ‘middle.

The fore wing of male has a strong bar-shaped retinaculum, but
in Eurias, T'yana, Hylophila bicolorana, Ariolica triangulifera,
Cerala, Topadesa and Gabala this has become aborted and is re-
placed by a tuft of hair from below median nervure ; the wing is
smoothly scaled except in Cerala, which has slight tufts of raised
scales at middle and end of cell.

The Larve have all the prolegs present and are sparsely clothed
with hair and form a boat-shaped cocoon of silk with an angular
projection in front on dorsum spun on a twig, except in Acontia,
