VOLUME I. LONDON: PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES. 1298. JATALOGUE OF THE SYNTOMID & IN THE COLLECTION OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. BY Sirk GEORGE F. HAMPSON, Barr. LOeN) DON: PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES. SOLD BY LONGMANS & Co., 39 PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C.; B. QUARITCH, 15 PICCADILLY; DULAU & CO., 37 SOHO SQUARE, W.; KEGAN PAUL & Co., PATERNOSTER HOUSE, CHARING CROSS ROAD; AND AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM (NATURAL HISTORY), CROMWELL ROAD, 8.W 1898. f’ f ef f Oy f A, PRINTED BY TAYLOR AND FRANCIS, RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. PREFACE, As the whole scheme and scope of the work of which the present volume is the first instalment is fully explained in the Introduction, very little is required from me by way of preface. It may be easily understood that the publication of a monograph of a group like the Lepidoptera Phalene, containing such an enormous number of species, already known, or likely to be dis- covered during the progress of the work, is an undertaking of very considerable magnitude, but it is one which, if successfully accom- plished, will be of proportionate value to the systematie zoologist. The Trustees of the British Museum believe that the work has been undertaken under conditions which are as favourable as possible. The author, Sir George Hampson, has already shown, in his ‘Handbook of the Moths of British India,’ his capacity for treating the subject in a manner likely to produce confidence in his methods; he has under his hands in the Museum a collection already of exceptional richness, and rapidly increasing, and, what is of the greatest importance, he is in friendly relations with all the other workers at the group in various parts of the world. The strict regulation of the British Museum which does not allow of unique specimens being under any circumstances sent away from the establishment, though on the whole salutary as regards the preservation and ultimate accessibility of type specimens, has undoubtedly its disadvantages in relation to the interchange of facilities for examination ; but it is gratifying to be able to report to how great an extent these disadvantages have been overcome, thanks to the courtesy of so many entomologists which it is now my privilege to acknowledge. Owing to the kind way in which everyone appealed to has responded to the request for assistance, and the great amount of trouble they have been willing to take in forwarding material from their collections required for examination, a very large propor- tion of types of the species described have been examined whilst preparing the volume, as will be seen by looking through the text. Vi PREFACE. ~The British Museum Collection is now very rich in species of Syntomide, a large number of them having been added during the past year, notably the Godman-Salvin Collection, from Central America, of this and other families, which has now been handed over to the Museum. The whole of the species of Syntomide in Dr. Staudinger’s magnificent collection have been submitted for examination, and an opportunity of acquiring specimens of most of the species has been afforded us. From the Neotropical region Mr. W. Schaus has presented many species and submitted all his types ; whilst Mr. Herbert Druce and M. Paul Dognin of Paris have lent all their types for examination and description, as also has Prof. Poulton the types described by F. Walker which are in the Oxford Museum. From the Athiopian region Dr. W. J. Holland, D.D., of Penn- sylvania, has lent all the types described by him from W. Africa, and presented co-types of many of them to the Museum ; and from S. Africa the collections of Mr. G. A. K. Marshall and Miss F. Barrett have provided specimens of most of the species oceurring in that subregion; whilst Prof. Aurivillius, of Stockholm, has lent the types described by Wallengren, M. Paul Mabille has submitted the types of species described by him from Africa and Madagascar, and Dr. H. Lenz of Libeck and Dr. von Heyden of Frankfort those described by Saalmiiller. From the Oriental region the collections of Mr. J. H. Leech, from Japan and China, have been examined, also those of Mr. H. J. Elwes from India, and specimens of many of them have been presented by the latter, as well as of many species collected by Mr. W. Doherty in the Malayan subregion. The Curator of the Devon and Exeter Museum has sent the few species described by F. Walker the types of which are in that Museum, and Dr. R. Gestro, of Genoa, the species collected by Fea in Burma, From various parts of the Malayan subregion we have received large collections made by Mr. Doherty, Herr P. C. T. Snellen has lent the types of his species, Herr Fruhstorfer of Berlin has presented specimens of the species taken by himself in Java and Celebes, as well as many from Brazil, and Herr F. Rober, of Dresden, has lent or presented specimens of the Malayan species described by himself, From the Australian region, Mr. E. Meyrick has lent us the types of his species from: New Guinea and Australia which are in his collection, and the Trustees of the Macleay Museum others which are at Sydney. ————EEo PREFACE, vil Lastly the Hon. Walter Rothschild has lent all the types described by Felder in the ‘ Reise Novara’ which are in his immense collec- tion, and has placed all the rest of his material at our disposal for examination. Prof. Harrison G. Dyar, of the United States National Museum. Washington, and Dr. T. A. C. Chapman, have very kindly looked over the parts of the Introduction relating to the early stages of the Lepidoptera, of which they have made a special study, and have made many suggestions and corrections which have been of the greatest possible value. Dr. A. G. Butler has given the author the advantage of his assistance in revising the proof-sheets. As the coloured illustrations of new or hitherto inadequately figured species, though of the greatest value to the progress of zoology, are not essential to the plan of the work, and if in- corporated would have added greatly to its cost, it has been thought best to issue them separately, and to produce the text alone at a price which may make it readily accessible to all working entomologists.

INTRODUCTION. Tue Lepidoptera, consisting of the Butterflies, Papiliones, and Moths, Phalene, to revert to the original terms given to them by Linnzus*, are for the most part easily distinguished from all other insects by :—(1) The maxiliz being channelled and conjoined to form a tubular proboscis, which, however, is often more or less aborted or entirely absent in such groups as the Hepialidw, Psychide, Satur- wade, and some Sesiade, Pyralide, etc. (2) By the mandibles being obsolete, except in the ancestral family Micropteryqide, where in the genus Hriocephala they are functionally active. (3) By the very largely developed clypeus or frons forming the whole front of the head. (4) By the broad, regularly veined wings clothed with minute scales which are modified hairs, all the gradations between the extreme forms of hairs and scales being often observable in the same insect: some Lepidoptera, however, appear to be hyaline and devoid of -scales, either by the scales falling off after development or by being so reduced in size as to become microscopic; whilst the females of Psychide and some Lymantriade, Geometride, and Tineide have the wings more or less aborted. The Lepidoptera, after leaving the egg, pass through three well- defined stages of development and changes in structure and habit— (1) The larva, whose function is growth; (2) the pupa, whose function is maturation; and (3) the imago, whose function is reproduction fT * Strictly speaking, the Phalene are the Phalene of Linneus plus his Sphinges. + E. Meyrick, ‘Introduction to Handbook of British Lepidoptera.’ Mac- millan, 1895. VOL, I. B 2 INTRODUCTION. Tur Ovum. The ovum or egg is more or less globular, usually with a sculp - tured surface ; the colour changing considerably during the process of development. There are two types of egg found in the Lepi- doptera *:—(1) The upright egg with the micropyle at the top, found in the Syntomide, Arctiade, Noctuide, Lymantriade, Hypside, Notodontide, Cosside, Castniade, and probably the small families derived from them; and in the Papiliones. (2) The flat egg with the micropyle at one end, to which group all the other families belong. The groups with upright eggs arose from the ancestral flat-egg forms at several different points, and it will be noticed in the phylogeny of the families that the only family with upright eggs placed as giving rise to families with flat eggs is the Notodontide. It is, however, from ancestors of the present forms that the families were derived, and probably the Wotodontide either still include among their lower forms, or did so prior to the origin of the Cymatophoride and Sphingide, forms with flat eggs that would still come within the definition of the family. Tue Larva. The larvee of Lepidoptera are essentially phytophagous, but in the family Pyralide an Australian Gallerid eats its way into and preys upon the larve of one of the large green species of Hepialus, and several species of Phycids and Noctuids of the genus Hublemma live on Coccids, a Lycenid on Aphids, and some 7%neidw on such sub- stances as hair and horn. The larvee are usually cylindrical and elongate, but shorter and broader in the Lycenide, Zygenide, and Megalopygide, most modified in the Limacodide. They consist of :—(1) A head fur- nished with strongly developed mandibles, simple eyes, antennie which are usually rudimentary but developed in Hriocephala, and usually have a spinneret below the mouth, from which silk is produced. (2) Thirteen somites, occasionally divided by transverse furrows into two to eight annulets: of these, three are thoracic, each bearing a pair of jointed corneous legs, and the Ist somite a lateral spiracle, and the other ten abdominal, the Ist eight witha spiracle, the last two without spiracles and almost completely fused, usually scarcely separable in the higher families. Somites 6-9 and 13 bear the paired sucker-like prolegs, furnished, except in a few cases, at extremity with minute hooks, which form a complete circle in the generalized forms with incomplete pup, and are present on outer side only in the more specialized Obtectw. In certain families, as in nearly all Geometride, many Noctwdew and Noline, some of the prolegs are absent; in the Megalopygide they coexist with a series of sucker-like pads on somites 5-10, whilst in the Zimacodide they are replaced by sucker-like structures on somites 4-11. In the ancestral Hriocephalat there are eight pairs of prolegs, and * Dr. T. A. D. Chapman, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1896, pp. 567-587. + Id., Trans. Ent. Soc. 1894, p. 335. THE LARVA AND COCOON, 3 a ventral trefoil-shaped sucker on the 9th and 10th abdominal somites. Micropteryx and some other specialized larvae are without prolegs. The larvee periodically cast their skins, the number of moults varying from three to ten in different species, and also varying in the same species under different conditions. The somites bear series of tubercles*, from which single hairs or tufts of hair arise: occasionally these are very small and incon- spicuous, or they may be obscured by a general coating of hair spread all over the body ; usually they are distinct and of a definite number. On somite 1 rise hairs from either half of the cervical shield, a prespiracular tubercle with three hairs, and a subspiracular tubercle with one or two hairs: on somites 2 and 3 a subdorsal tubercle, i, with two hairs; i with ten hairs, often separated ; il, iv, & v in line on the side, iv and v being conjoined; vi sub- spiracular, with one or two hairs: on the abdomen i, Ui, ili are above the spiracle, iv & v near or below it, vi above the leg, vii on base of leg with three hairs and forming the leg-shield, vill on the inside of the leg. On the conjoined 12th and 13th somites the tubercles are somewhat reduced. In the first stage the tubercles are in a generalized condition— tubercles ii & iv of thorax and vi of abdomen being absent; these tubercles, therefore, are not primary ones, and they are not developed in any stage of the Papiliones, Saturniada, or Sphingide, or in certain specialized leaf-mining 7'ineide. In the divergent Hepialide they are represented by a different set of subprimary tubercles. In some cases the primitive first stage is absent, and the tubercles are alike in all the stages. The position of the several tubercles varies a little in different families, the change being most marked in the position of tubercle iv of abdomen, which is separate from v, but in line with it in the lowest larve, and moved up behind the spiracle in the Noctuidae, etc. In the higher Tineide and Pyralide it becomes joined to v, and in the Sphingide v is moved up in front of the spiracle. The tubercles may be hypertrophied into horn-like structures and the hairs variously modified, such as the stinging spines of the Inmacodide and the club-shaped appendages of Hriocephala. Tue Cocoon. The larva when full-fed forms, for its own protection during the helpless pupa stage, a cocoon composed usually of silk mixed with its own hair, portions of the food-plant, feces, earth, or similar substances ; in some Syntomide and Arctiade of hair only without silk; or, in the case of the carnivorous forms, of the skins of its victims, In some of the more specialized families, however, no cocoon is formed, the pupa being suspended by silk from the extremity of the * G, Harrison Dyar, Ann.

Tuer Pura. Having formed its cocoon, the larva turns to a pupa, during which stage in some Diptera almost the whole of the tissues of the body undergo degeneration into a liquid fatty substance within the outer cuticle, except the nerve centres and some bodies attached to them known as the ‘“‘imaginal disks,” which are the rudiments of the future body, wings, and legs, and which by absorption of the products of the degenerated tissues gradually grow and build up the imago till ready to emerge from the pupa skin. In the Lepi- doptera, however, this process is not carried nearly so far; the dorsal vessel and its muscles, some skin muscles, the tracheal system, and the alimentary canal of the larve are persistent, and the mouth- parts, antenne, and legs of the imago are modified and developed from those of the larve: the process, in fact, resolving itself into the imaginal structures not present in the larvae being developed from disks, whilst the larval structures not present in the imago undergo degeneration. The various parts of the pupal skin are all soldered together and immovable, except certain of the abdominal somites, but the head with the cases for the proboscis and antenne, the thorax with the wing- and leg-cases, and the abdominal somites can be easily distinguished. EMERGENCE FROM Cocoon. In the orders of insects of which the imagines are provided with jaws, these are used to help them to force their way through the cocoon, and Eriocephala being provided with functional jaws pro- bably uses them for the same purpose. The evolution of the haustellate Lepidoptera resolves itself into the solution in various ways of the problem of freeing themselves from the cocoon without jaws *. In this respect the families fall into two main divisions T :-— (1) The Incomplete, with the 7th abdominal segment free in the male, fixed in the female, the moth emerging from the cocoon clothed in the effete pupal skin; of these Micropterya uses the jaws of the pupal skin to rupture the cocoon and to pass through it and overlying earth, motion being induced in them by vermicular movements of the pupa. In all other Lepidoptera the pupal jaws are functionally obsolete, accompanied by considerable consolidation of the previously movable parts, and a roughening of the dorsum * Dr. T. A. D. Chapman, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1896, pp. 567-587, + Id., Trans. Ent. Soe. 1893, pp. 97-119. + Id., Trans. Ent. Soc. 1893, pp. 255-265. THE IMAGO. a of the abdomen. In the Limacodidw the abdominal segments are all free, and the cocoon is provided with an easily movable lid. In Adela and its allies the pupa is furnished with a beak, which the moth uses to emerge from its cocoon which is formed of a valved larval case. In these lower forms the cremaster or silken girdle round the pupa is rare, and it seems to be used to restrain the effete pupal case when far enough through the cocoon, which is effected in most cases by the elastic cocoon firmly holding the pupal skin. (2) The Obtecte, comprising all the higher forms, with the 5th and 6th abdominal segments free and the moth emerging from the cocoon, leaving the pupal skin retained within it by the cremaster ; the only intermediate case between the two groups which is known being Epermenia, which, though it has an incomplete pupa, leaves it within the cocoon on dehiscence. Among the Obtecte there are many devices for breaking through the cocoon, such as specially constructed weak places in the cocoon ; a softening fluid applied by the mouth assisted by special appliances, such as the corneous frontal process of some Pyralidw and Noctuidae, etc., the spines at end of fore tibie of many Noctuide, the shoulder- spines of Attacus, ete. In the Papilioncs, which have dispensed entirely with the cocoon, certain genera in each family have lost the power of movement in one or both segments of the abdomen that are free in the rest of the Obtecte ; and the number and position of the free segments in the different groups of Lepidoptera seem to be simply correlated with the problem of most effective leverage for the various methods of emergence from the cocoon, the power of movement, however, in any segment being never reacquired when once lost. Tue Laraco. The imago or perfect insect emerges from the cocoon with its wings in a dwarfed and crumpled condition; they, however, rapidly expand and dry, the muscles being usually stimulated by vibration in the air, probably as a help to the circulation and oxygenisation of the blood-plasma. A Lepidopterous insect consists of (1) the head, (2) the thorax, and (3) the abdomen. The head consists of three pieces: the occiput, lying behind the ocelli; the epicranium behind the antenne, bearing the ocelli or simple eyes, which, however, are often absent, and the large compound eyes made up of a large number of simple lenses ; thirdly the clypeus or frons, occupying the whole front of the head, with the triangular mandibulate areas at each side. The labrum is very minute and concealed by the clypeus, its lateral processes, called piliger, being visible and a triangular medial part, which may, however, be the epipharynx; the labium is small, short, and triangular; the mentum nearly obsolete ; the lingua is obsolete, its place being supplied by the maxillie, which form a long, grooved proboscis. In Eriocephala functional toothed mandibles are present, in 6 INTRODUCTION. Micropteryw they are non-denticulate and functionless, and in the higher forms rudimentary. In Hriocephala the free palpi and typical ligula of the mandibulate insects are present, the ligula being formed by the fusion of the inner palps into a short tubule open externally, a short hypopharynx being present on its inner wall.

The labial palpi are normally well developed and 3-jointed, but aborted or much reduced in the Hepialidew, Psychide, and many Cosside ; they may be upturned, with the 2nd joint curved, straight and oblique or porrect, or downcurved ; they vary much in form and scaling, the male often having extremely specialized develop- ments, but their function beyond that of protecting and cleaning the proboscis is unknown. The antennz are sense-organs composed of an indefinite number of joints and varying much in length and structure; they are * A. Walter, Jena. Zeit. Nat. xviii. pp. 121-173 (1884) ; id. Jena.

Fig. 2.—Antenne of Moths. (From Moths of India, vol. i.) The thorax consists of three segments—the prothorax, bearing the tegule or collar-lappets, the patagia or shoulder-lappets, and the fore legs; the mesothorax, bearing the mid legs and fore wings ; and the metathorax, the hind legs and hind wings. The abdomen consists of nine segments, the terminal segments being often much modified and little recognizable ; at its base are a lateral pair of large tracheal stigmata, those on the other segments being small, and at its extremity the anal tuft covering the orifice within which are concealed the genital organs, consisting in the male of paired lateral claspers and a medial curved upper process— the uncus; these vary extremely in form in closely allied species, with the object probably of preventing hybridization ; they are often useful, and generally reliable as a point of distinction between closely allied species, but have been insufficiently studied in most groups of Lepidoptera; they are often accompanied by a scent- producing genital tuft. The legs consist of (1) coxa, (2) trochanter, (3) femur, (4) tibia, (5) the 5-jointed tarsus bearing the ungues and pulvillus. The fore tibise have a medial spine-like process, which in many Psychide is long and arises from the femoro-tibial joint; the mid tibie are 8 INTRODUCTION. usually provided with a terminal pair of spurs, and the hind tibize with medial and terminal pairs; the tarsi usually, and the tibie often, are more or less spinous, and the fore tibiae sometimes bear a curved terminal hook; in the male the mid or hind tibie often have a scent-brush contained in a groove.

The wings consist of two closely applied laminz of membrane covered with scales or hairs which have their bases inserted in a series of pits and overlap one another like tiles. The membrane is traversed by a series of veins, which are tubular blood-vessels containing nerves and trachee. The fore wing typically has 12 veins—the internal nervure with three branches (1 a, 6, c), 1a being short and often forming a fork at the base of 1 6, and 1 ¢ usually obsolete ; the median nervure with its two branches (2, 3); the radial nervure with three branches (4, 5,6); the subcostal nervure with five branches (7, 8, 9, 10, 11); and the costal nervure (12) *. The hind wing has twelve veins, as in the fore wing, in the Micropterygide and Hepialide, the extra veins being numbered 7 a, b, c, d; in all the other families typically eight veins, the difference from the fore wing consisting in the absence of four of the subcostals, but one of them is probably represented by the bar between veins 7 and 8 found in the Lymantriade, Sphingide, Eupterotida, etc. tf: almost any of the veins may be either aborted or coincident with other veins.

The present form of neuration arose from a system of simple longitudinal veins, which by the union of their basal portions formed the present branching system; thus the discocellulars which close the cell of each wing were formed by the junction of the basal portions of the three radial veins, the basal stem being then aborted, leaving only an outwardly-directed trifid fork of which the radials are the extremities. The whole process in its various stages may be clearly seen in such generalized forms as the Cosside, Psychide, and Zygenide ; and the neuration of the extinct ancestor of the Lepido- ptera must have consisted of at least fifteen simple longitudinal veins in each wing, and probably more, as in several groups vein 16 of the hind wing is forked at base. Vein 4, the lowest radial, has become permanently connected with the two-branched median nervure *, and vein 6, almost without exception, with the five- branched subcostal nervure ; but the position of vein 5 differs much in the several groups of families, according to whether it retains its original medial position or is attracted towards the median or subcostal systems. The fore and hind wings in the majority of families of Moths are connected by the “ frenulum ” developed from hairs arising from the base of the costa of hind wing and fitting into the ‘‘ retinaculum ” Fig. 6.—1. g. 2. 2.

The form of the frenulum is of great use in determining sex, as in the males of all the forms that possess it, it consists of hairs firmly soldered together so as to form a single bristle, articulating with the retinaculum arising from the costal nervure, whilst in the female it consists of three or more bristles (in a Cossid I have found as many as nine) articulating with the retinaculum arising from the median nervure. In the * A. Spuler, ‘Zur Phylogenie und Ontogenie des Fligelgeaders der Schmet- terlinge.’ PHYLOGENY. 11 Pyralid subfamily Phycitine and a few other forms the frenulum is single in both sexes. In the two most generalized families, the Micropterygide and Hepialide, the wings are not connected in any way ; the others all have the frenulum developed, or in some groups, such as the Papiliones, Arbelide, Lasiocampide, Bombycide, Saturn- iade, and some genera of families that usually possess it, it has become aborted and its function is assumed by an expansion of the base of the costa of the hind wing. The margins of the wing are termed (1) the fore margin or costa with the apex at its extremity, (2) the outer margin or termen with the tornus or outer angle at its junction with (3) the inner or dorsal margin; the termen and the terminal part of inner margin are fringed with elongate scales or cilia. PHYLOGENY OF THE LEPIDOPTERA. During the evolution of more or less specialized forms from the most generalized ones, their ancestors must have passed through certain stages which can be inferred with tolerable exactitude from the study of existing forms. The present families and genera are not of course derived from other existing ones, but from their ancestors, and when a family or genus is said to be derived from another all that is meant is that, in order to reach their present stage of specialization, their ancestors must have passed through a stage which would in essential points of structure come within the definition of the other family or genus. The Lepidoptera are primarily divisible into two groups, the lower consisting of the two generalized families Micropterygide and Hepialide, characterized by having 12 veins to the hind wing as in the fore wing, a small lcbe at the base of the fore wing—the so-called jugum—which is really the ‘alula’ found in many Neuroptera, Humenoptera, and Diptera, and by the wings not being articulated together in any way. Of these the more generalized are the Micropterygide, very closely related to the Neuropterous Trichoptera or caddis-flies, and distinguished by the great develop- ment of the maxillary palpi and by having tibial spurs, both of which are absent in the Hepialidw which are derived from them. The other families constitute the Frenate, with at most eight veins to the hind wing and the wings articulated with one another by a frenulum and retinaculum, or, in forms in which these are aborted, by an expansion of the costa of the hind wing. Of the Frenate the most generalized groups of families have vein 1 ¢ of the hind wing present and vein 8 free from the base or connected with the cell by a bar, and of these the Tineidw and Tortricide, with at least one medial spur of hind tibie well developed, come nearest to Microptcryx, from which they are possibly directly developed. From the Tineide are derived :—(1) The Sesiade, with vein 8 of hind wing aborted; (2) the Orneodide and Pterophoridw, with the wings divided into plumes ; (3) the Pyralid@, with vein 8 of hind a2 INTRODUCTION. wing closely approximated to or anastomosing with 7 beyond the cell, and vein 5 of fore wing from below middle of discocellulars, giving rise to the Thyridide, Drepanide, and Callidulide, with vein lc of hind wing absent; (4) the Zygenidw, with the spurs of hind tibize small, the proboscis usually present, vein 8 of hind wing connected with the cell by a bar, and usually retaining the primitive vein 1 ¢ of fore wing. From the Zygenide were developed :—(a) The Euschemonide, with clubbed antennz and without vein 1¢ of each wing, giving rise by the abortion of the frenulum to the various families of Papiliones, of which the Hesperiade are the most nearly related to them. (6) The Castniade, also with clubbed antenne but retaining vein 1 ¢ of each wing and with vein 8 widely separated from the cell from base, giving rise to the Neocastniade with vein 1 c¢ of both wings and the proboscis aborted. (c) The Dalceride *, with the proboscis aborted, from which arose the Limacodide with vein 8 of hind wing anastomosing with the cell usually near the base but sometimes beyond middle ; giving rise to the Megalopyyide with the mouth- parts aborted and vein 8 of hind wing anastomosing with the cell to middle or near extremity, the Perophoride with vein 8 of hind wing remote from the cell from base and le of fore wing absent, their larva being case-dwellers, the Chrysopolomide with the frenulum absent, vein 1c of both wings present, and vein 6 of fore wing from below middle of cell, the Endromid« with the frenulum and vein le of both wings absent and 8 of hind wings connected with the cell by a bar, from which sprung the Lasiocampide, with vein 8 of hind wing connected with 7 by a bar or anastomosing with it. (d) The Cosside, with the tibial spurs minute and the proboscis aborted, giving rise to the Ratardidet with the frenulum absent and vein 6 of fore wing from below angle of discocellulars, and the Argyrotypide + with vein le of fore wing absent, from which sprung the Arbelide with the frenulum also absent. (e) The Heterogynide and Psychide, with legless and wingless females and the proboscis aborted, the latter with the females and larvae case-dwellers. In the Zygenide vein 5 of the fore wing often retains its primi- tive medial position, whilst in all the families hitherto considered as having arisen from it, it has more or less migrated towards the median nervure; in the next group of families however (f/f) it either retains its medial position or migrates towards the subcostal nervure, and vein 1 ¢ of both wings is absent; of these the most generalized are the Uraniade, with vein 8 of the hind wing diverging widely from the cell from base and 7 of fore wing remote from 8, 9 and usually stalked with 6 ; in some of its genera the abortion of the frenulum and development of the base of costa of hind wing can be * Consisting of the genera Dalcera, Acraga, and Pinconia from the Neotropical region. t Consisting of the genus Ratarda from India. { Containing the genera Argyrotypus and Chrysotypus from Madagascar, and Acousmaticus from Chili. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION, 13 traced in all its stages: from them arose the Ceratocampide, with the frenulum absent and vein 7 of fore wing connected with 8, 9, giving rise to the Brahmaide with vein 8 of hind wing approximated to 7, and the Bombycide and Saturniade with the proboscis and tibial spurs absent, the former having vein 8 of hind wing connected with the cell. From the Uraniade arose also the Geometridw, with vein 8 approximated to or connected or anastomosing with the cell and 7 of fore wing stalked with 8, 9; vein 5 of the hind wing is fully developed except in the subfamily Boarmiane, which has 8 connected with the cell near base only, whilst in the Notodontide vein 5 is always obsolescent and 8 connected with the cell at middle ; these last giving rise to the Cymatophoride and Sphingide, with vein 8 approximated to 7, the latter having also a bar between the cell and vein 8 near the base, and to the Hupterotide, with the proboscis absent. In the last group of families arising from the Notodontide, vein 5 of the fore wing has migrated towards the median nervure ; of these, the most primitive is the Hypsidw, retaining the bar between vein 8 of hind wing and cell, giving rise to the Lyman- triade, in which the proboscis is aborted, from which arose the Pterothysanide, with the frenulum absent. From the Hypsida are derived also the Noctuide, with vein 8 anastomosing with the cell near base, from which arose the Agaristidw, with the antenne dilated at extremity and day-flying or crepuscular habits, and the Arctiade, with vein 8 anastomosing with the cell to middle, giving rise to the Syntomide, with vein 8 aborted. GEOGRAPHICAL Disrripurion or THe LeprportTpra.* As far as the distribution of the Lepidoptera is concerned, the Earth seems to be divisible into four main divisions only :— (1) The Northern temperate region, with special Arctic develop- ments in high mountain-chains and high latitudes, is characterized chiefly by the great development of the subfamily Moctuine of the Noctuide, the Geometridae, Notodontide, Cymatophoride, Arctiade, Lymantriade, and Zygenide ; its southern limits, exclusive of the high mountain-chain running through Mexico, Central and South America, and the scattered summits of the higher mountains of the tropics of the Old World, are approximately the southern boundary of the United States, exclusive of Florida, in Africa the Sahara, and in Asia, Arabia, Persia, the arid parts of N.W. India and the higher slopes of the Himalayas, its boundaries becoming very ill-defined in China and 8, Japan. (2) The Tropical zone of the Old World, characterized mainly by a great development of the subfamily Plustane of the Noctuidae, the Agaristide, Syntomide, Uraniada, Eupterotide, Saturniade, Lima- codide, and especially the Thyridide and Pyralide, and among * H. J. Elwes’ presidential address to the Entomological Society, 1894. 14 INTRODUCTION. butterflies the Danainw, and in Africa the Acrwinw, and in the Malayan subregion the Nemeobiane. (3) The Neotropical region, with much the same general charac- teristics as the tropics of the Old World, but with very distinct genera; the immense development of the Syntomide and the Pyralid subfamily Chrysaugine being especially marked, whilst the Zygenide and the Pyralid subfamilies Pyraline and Endotrichine, greatly developed in the tropics of the Old World, are almost absent. Among butterflies the Lthomiane, Heliconine, Brassoline, Morphine, Erycinide, and Dismorphine are largely developed, and a very marked feature of the region. (4) The Australian region consists of (a) the temperate part of Australia and Tasmania, with some affinities to the extreme south of Africa, characterized by a great development of the Geometrid subfamily Monocteniane, the Tineid subfamilies @cophorine and Xyloryctine, and the Hepialide, it has also some ancestral forms of Pyralide: (b) New Zealand, with affinities to Hawaii and the extreme south of America, characterized by the great development of the Pyralid subfamilies Scoparszane and Crambine, and the Micropterygide, and an extreme poverty in other forms. The fauna of the region represents the scattered remnants of a very ancient and peculiar Southern fauna, Tur ScHEME oF THE WoRK. 2 The plan of the work is to begin with the most highly specialized families, genera, and species, and gradually work down to the most generalized forms ; the order of the families and genera is that of the Phylogenetic tables, beginning on the extreme left and working down to the junction with another branch, then beginning again at its summit and working down to the same point, and so on, till the most generalized forms at the bottom of the table are reached. The arrangement of the species, however, is that of the synoptic tables of the species, beginning with the more specialized sections of genera founded on structural characters. The references consist of one for each generic name, with its date and the type on which it is founded, whether it is retained as a genus or treated as a subgenus or synonym. The references to the species consist of the original reference and one for each synonym, with their dates, references to the best figure of the species and to such faunistic works and Catalogues as are in most general use, and references to the best descriptions and figures of the early stages, which are placed after the description of the imago. Each genus and all the more important sections of genera are illustrated by process-blocks in the text, showing the facies of the species and all its more important structural characters, and all species that have not been satisfactorily figured in other works will appear in the coloured plates, which will be published separately in parts containing no letterpress except the explanation of the plates, a reference to the text of the volumes and the habitat of the SCHEME OF WORK. 15 species figured. Descriptions of all species hitherto described are included of which specimens are available for study, or about which sufficiently reliable information is published to enable them to be classified with approximate correctness, and lists of the species of which the descriptions are insufficient will be given at the end of the families; no new species are described unless they are repre- sented by specimens in the British Museum. Local races are treated as subspecies with their own references and synonymy, but the references to what are considered to be varietal forms are given in the general synonymy. Species that are not in the British Museum are marked by an (*) so as to enable students to know what material will be available for study, and also as a help to filling up the gaps in the Collection. The locality from which all the types in the Collection came will be clearly stated, also the collections in which all types are at present deposited (when definitely known), those examined for purposes of the work being marked with a (7). The range of the species is gone into with some minuteness, all the countries and their main divisions in which the species occurs being given in small capitals, and the towns or smaller districts in ordinary type, the name of the collector also (when known) being added as a guide to the reliability of the habitat ; doubtful habitats are marked with a (?). ‘a pruo ue yosngy “eperugsey ake *eBPBIUISVI09 NT = | ‘epmodigy “aperg ‘eprueodyT ‘aprdyeg ‘eprpeydurd yy ‘episdr0qdoaorqy ‘epyeidey = ‘aproury, es ‘BpPlOMylOT, ‘epvisog ‘apmoydoryg ‘aprpedg ‘eaprawdd7 ‘wprpooutg = “eaprprikyy, ‘epruvdorq ‘@Bpimpr[eg “‘Bpuoo[Vqy *“BPISSOD ‘apiuddodojoyy “aperuvay | | | “eeprpoowunrry ‘apriprwyey w@piddjordsay ‘epics, | | ‘wpisddopedoyy ‘apmoydotg ‘apruojodoséuyQ ‘aeprmoapugy ‘eprpoqay. | ‘eeprduroorsery apiduBoojywieg <“aplyemoay ‘epiyuopojo Ny ‘eplawmyerg ‘eeproAqurog ‘eperumyeg ‘VaardodldwT GHL 10 ANENOTAHT ‘@pyorjdng ‘wpmoydoywudy ‘apisarydg “apwdszy ‘eperaqueutdry *eeprngoo yy ‘BpruvssyOIT 'Bprystavdy ‘epviyory ‘ws pruogudg KEY TO THE FAMILIES, KEY TO THE FAMILIES.

Proboscis usually well developed, but sometimes aborted ; palpi short and porrect, long and downcurved, or upturned; frons rounded; antenne simple, ciliated, or bipectinate, usually with short branches dilated at extremity in both sexes; tibize with the spurs short. Fore wing usually with the terminal area broad ; vein la forming a fork with 16, 1¢ absent; 5 from below middle of discocellulars ; 7 stalked with 8,9. Hind wing small; vein 1a often absent; 1¢ absent; 8 absent, rarely rudimentary and not reaching costa; frenulum present; retinaculum bar-shaped, A family of Moths of small or medium size and semi-diurnal habits derived from the Arctiadw, but usually with the facies of the Zyygenide, from some of which, with vein 6 of the hind wing absent, they are not very easily distinguishable at first sight; but these latter have vein 8 of the hind wing usually more or less separate from the cell and connected with it by a bar, and in the fore wings vein le present and 7 from the cell. From the Arctiade@ they are to be distinguished by vein 8 of the hind wing being absent, but in Xanthopleura, Anaphlebia, many species of Hucereon, and a few other genera, it is present as an aborted fragment not reaching the costa; whilst in certain species of the genus Halisidota, which is best placed in the Arctiade, many specimens have vein 8 rudimentary or sometimes entirely absent, and a few have it represented by two or even three rudimentary spurs from the upper margin of cell, so that no very exact line can be drawn between the two families. * In the Zygenid subfamily Phaudine the mouth-parts are aborted, SYNTOMIDA, 21 A few other genera of Aretiade, Automolis and its allies, appear to sometimes have vein 8 of the hind wing absent, but this is really due to veins 6, 7 being coincident and 8 stalked with them or from angle of cell, all the gradations of this form being traceable; these can be distinguished by the coincident veins 6, 7 being given off from the upper angle of cell with a slight upward turn, whilst vein 6 when separate is given off with a downward turn. The most generalized genus in the family, and most nearly allied to the Arctiade, is probably Hyaleuccrea, with the palpi upturned, fore wing with veins 4, 5, and 10 from the cell; hind wing with vein 8 rudimentary, vein 7 present, 5 from near angle of cell, and 2 from well before angle. From this have developed, among New- World forms :— (1) Genera with rostriform palpi, such as Scepsis; a group with vein 5 of hind wing stalked with 4, such as Huagra, or with veins 4, 5 of fore wing stalked, such as Lymire; a group with lateral tufts on the abdomen, such as Didasys, with tufts of scales on medial part of antennze as in Dinia, or with the 2nd segment of abdomen constricted as in Trichura; forms with vein 4 of hind wing absent as in Sesiura, or both 3 and 4 absent as Desmidocnemis, or vein + of fore wing absent as Syntrichura. (2) Genera with vein 2 of hind wing from angle of cell, vein 5 being present, such as Amycles. (3) A main division with vein 5 of hind wing obsolescent from middle of discocellulars, of which the most primitive is Autochloris with vein 2 from long before angle of cell, whilst nearly all the genera have it from the angle, of these Ivylasta has vein 3 stalked with 4, but nearly all the others have it stalked or coincident with 2, Macro- cneme and Pseudomya having the hind tarsi tufted with scales, Lovophlebia with vein 5 of fore wing from well above angle of cell; a group of genera being clothed with rough hair, such as Sarosa; another group with the medial part of shaft of antenne thickened, such as Jsanthrene and Euchromia, which is the only Old-World genus with affinities to the Neotropical forms; a group with the 2nd segment of abdomen constricted and closely ‘‘ mimicking” Hymenoptera, such as Pseudosphev; and a group with tufts of scales on terminal segments of abdomen, such as Matllodeta. (4) Among the Old-World forms which are developed from an Arctoid form low down in the family, Pseudapiconoma has vein 7 of hind wing obsolescent from angle of cell, and Hyalethea has it on a long stalk with 6; all the other genera have veins 6, 7 coincident, among which the Dysauxes group have vein 4 of hind wing present, the Syntomis group have it absent, and the Ceryw group have both 3 and 4 absent.
