This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 

publisher to a library and finally to you.

public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing tliis resource, we liave taken steps to 
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.

because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other

any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner

PREFACE 



The object of the present Catalogue is to give a list of 
the Specimens received by the Museum or described by 
Naturalists since the publication of the former Parts. The 
letters a, b, c, &c., after the species, denote the specimens now 
contained in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and 
! the mode in which each of them was obtained ; the absence 
of these letters indicates the species which are desiderata 
for the Entomological collection.

graciles, caput perpauUo superantes ; articulus 2us pilis longis ?e8- 
titus ; 3u8 laneeolatus, 2i dimidio non brevior. Antennas subpec- 
tinatse. Abdomen cristatum, alas posticas non superans. Pedes 
sat robusti, femoribus tibiisque pilosis. Als antics elongate, 
latiusculse, apice subrotundatae, margine exteriore subconvexo per- 
obliquo. 

Male, Body moderately stout. Proboscis short Palpi por- 
reet, slender, extending very little beyond the head ; second joint 
clothed with long hairs ; third lanceolate, about half the length of 
the second. Antennae slightly pectinated. Abdomen with some 
small crests, not extending beyond the hind wings. Legs rather 
stout ; femora and tibias pilose ; spurs, moderately long. Wings 
elongate, rather broad. Fore wiugs slightly rounded at the tips ; 
exterior border slightly convex, very oblique ; third inferior vein 
more than twice further from the fourth than from the second. 

This genus should perhaps be separated from the Cgmatophor" 
ida. It seems to have an affinity to the Notodontida.

abdomen with a slight testaceous tinge, the latter extending some*

with black bands. Fore wings with a black basal streak, with a 
▼ery deeply undulating transverse black line, which forms lanceolate 
curres, with black elongated submarginal dots and with black mai^

with elongated black exCerior points, and with a few black marginal

Most like A. iepwtculina and A. oblinitaj but the fore wings 
are much narrower than those of leputcvdina^ and the black marks 
on the Tcins of the hiud wings distinguish it from oblinita.
