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 marginalia 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.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
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
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
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 com-
plete list of all the genera and species of Geometrites known
to exist in the different collections. The letters a, b, c,
Ac., 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, and the absence of
these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and
therefore desirable to be procured for the collection.

0. Deliaria and O. Delphiaria have evidently a greater affinity
to each other than either of them have to tbe other species of the
genus, and this is in accordance with the proximity of their respec-
tive habitations. The two individuals here recorded differ slightly
from each other and from Guenee's description of O. Delphiaria.
The Punjaub specimen has the discal mark of the fore wings wider,
paler and less defined than that of the other specimen, and the two

parts of tbis mark are connected by the silver line in the former,
while they are qnite separate in the latter. Both the specimens are
males.

this mark being a little slender line with a brown space around it ;

interior line, and by the slightly undulating exterior line of the fore
wings.

The object of the present Catalogue is to give a com-
plete list of all the genera and species of Geometrites known

fee., after the species, denote the specimens now contained
pn the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the mode
fa which each of them was obtained, and the absence of
^hese letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and
i
therefore desirable to be procured for the collection.

The genera Costnotodes and Absyrte$, which Guenee combines
with the Zerenidce, have been already noticed in this Catalogue.
Cotmetodes is a synonym of Simena (Cat. Lep. 1st. Ser. 1728), and
C. Joaria is the same as S. luctifera. Absyrtet is a synonym of
Tkataina (Cat, Lep. 1st. Ser. 659).

Female. Ferruginous-brown. Wings with many blackish
indistinct denticulated lines; exterior and submarginal lines com-
posed of pale fawn-coloured points, the former more distinct than
the latter and somewhat dilated and retracted towards the costa of
the fore wings; discal dot elongated, transverse, deep black, pale-

under side pale cinereous, with a black discal spot and with two
exterior black bands, of which the first is macular and the second
nearly complete. Length of the body 4j lines; of the wings 14

This species may be distinguished from the preceding one by
| its much smaller size, by the difference in the underside 6f the

Female. Ferruginous-brown. Wings with many blackish
indistinct denticulated line?; exterior and submarginal lines com-
! posed of pale fawn-coloured points, the former more distinct than
' the latter and somewhat dilated and retracted towards the costa of
the fore wings; discal dot elongated, transverse, deep black, pale-
bordered, much larger in the fore wings than in the hind wings ;
under side pale cinereous, with a black discal spot and with two
exterior black bands, of which the first is macular and the second
nearly complete. Length of the body 4£ lines; of the wings 14
lines.
This species may be distinguished from the preceding one by
its much smaller size, by the difference in the under side of the
wings, and by the discal dot on the hind wings.
