LONDON: PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES. SOLD BY LONGMANS & Co., 39 PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. ; B. QUARITCH, 15 PICCADILLY, W.; DULAU & Co., 37 SOHO SQUARE, W.; KEGAN PAUL, TRENCH, TRUBNER & Co., CHARING CROSS ROAD, W.C.; AND AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM (NATURAL HISTORY), CROMWELL ROAD, 8.W. L901, PRINTED BY TAYLOR AND FRANCIS, RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. PREFACE Tue subject of the 3rd volume of the Catalogue of Lepidoptera Phalene is the last of the three subfamilies of the Arctiade—the Arctiane, in which 946 species are described and classified ; the Volume also contains the small family Ayaristide, with 225 species, a somewhat specialized development from the Noctuidae, the antennse being modified in relation to their day-flying habits. Since the death of Dr. Staudinger his collection has not been available for study, and it has not been possible to examine a few of the Palearctic and Neotropical types of Arctiane which he had kindly promised to send to London, as he had so liberally done on former occasions ; nearly the whole of them had, however, already been examined and, as will be seen by the list on pp. 518, 514, but few remain the classification of which is uncertain. IT have again to thank all those who had assisted Sir George Hampson in the preparation of the former volumes, for their help with this one; also M. Ch. Oberthiir of Rennes, Herr G. Weymer of Elberfeld, and Dr. Carlos Berg of Buenos Ayres, for the loan of types described by them. EK. RAY LANKESTER, Director. British Museum (Natural History), June 20th, 1901.

Proboscis more or less aborted in the typical genera Arectia, Diacrisia, and allies, fully developed in most Neotropical genera, and also in Utetheisa, Secusio, and their allies; palpi slight and porrect or well developed and upturned; ocelli present; eyes rarely hairy ; antenne pectinate or ciliate; tibial spurs typically small but often well developed, the hind tibie with the medial spurs absent in a few genera and the fore tibize in others with curved apical claw, the mid and hind tibie rarely spined. Wings usually well developed, sometimes aborted in the females of Ocno- gyna etc. Fore wing with vein la separate from 16; 5 from near lower angle of cell or well below angle of discocellulars ; 6 from or from near upper angle, except in the very abnormal genus Psycharium, where it is from near middle of discocellulars in both wings ; areole present in many genera. Hind wing with vein 1 a present; 1c absent ; 4 often absent; 5 from near lower angle of cell or well below angle of discocellulars ; 6,7 sometimes coincident ; 8 coincident with the cell from or almost from base to near middle, extremity, or in Awtomolis and some other forms sometimes to beyond angle of cell; in Thalesa, Carathis, Ochrodota, and some species of Melese and Halisidota obsolete. The species of Automolis ete. which have veins 6, 7 of hind wing coincident and vein 8 from or from beyond upper angle of cell can be distinguished from the Syntomide by the stalk of the coincident veins 6,7 being slightly curved towards the costa at base. The Agaristid genus Pseudospiris and some genera of Noctuide have acquired the Arctid character of vein 8 of the hind wing becoming coincident with the cell to near middle, but in these it VOL, III. B 2 AROTIADAR, appears to be always free at the base, this being rarely the case in the Arctids ; this occurs in various parts of the Noctuidw, such as Stilbia in the Caradrininw, Rhanidophora, and Eligma in the Noctuine ; several genera in the Varache group, all the genera of Surrothripine, several of the allies of Acontia (these last two having also the Arctid character of a bar-shaped retinaculum), and many genera in the Hypenine. The nearest allies of the Arctiade among the Noctuide seem to be the Sarrothripine and Acontiane, the former being collaterals of the Lithosiane, the latter of the Arctiane. Larve with all the prolegs present; the tubercles normal, con- verted into large warts bearing many hairs and forming a cocoon of silk interwoven with hair. In the abnormal J'yria jacobee the warts have only one hair, except v which has two hairs and vii with four, this reduction of the hair being correlated with its warning coloration.
