PRINTED BY TAYLOR AND FRANCIS, RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. PREFACE, oO Tur subject of Vol. XI. of the ‘Catalogue of Moths’ is the classification of the Noctuid subfamilies Huteliane, Stictopterine, Sarrothripine, and Acontiane. The Huteliane 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 Noctwidew, 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 scales 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 vi 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 larvee 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 preseut. 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 yolume are numbers CLXXIV.-CXCI., part of Plate CLXX1V. referring to Vol. X. of the Catalogue. SIDNEY F.
