PREFACE.

The uiuth part of the ' Illustrations ' is devoted to the Macrolepidoptera Heteroccra of
Ceylon. It is divided into two portions : —

1. A systematic list of all the species known at present, with enumeration of the
localities in Ceylon from which they have been recorded, and with references to the literature
supplementary to those given in F. Moore's ' Lepidoptera of Ceylon ' and in Cotes and
Swinhoe's ' Catalogue of the Moths of India.'

2. The descriptive portion, which contains diagnoses of all the species figured. In
accordance with the principal object of the work, the figures are restricted to those species of
which the types are pi'cserved in the British Museum, and which are described either now
for the first time, or were published in previous works, provided that the types have not been
already satisfactorily figured elsewhere. If the same plan were methodically carried out in
other Museums and Collections containing types of published species, much labour and error
would be spared to the student, and much confusion avoided in nomenclature. Many
Walkerian species have been re-examined and are figured in the present part.

The greater portion of the materials for this contribution to the Ceylonese Fauna was
obtained from a fine collection formed by Mr. E. E. Green, the whole of '\^hich he ofiered to
the British Museum on the condition that the Trustees would publish the descriptious of the
new species in a part of the ' Illustrations.' This proposal was agreed to, Mr. Green's
Collection being subsequently largely supplemented by a liberal gift of specimens selected

/

• iv PEEFACE.

from the collections of the Hon. F. M. Mackwood aud of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Butt, while
Major J. W. Yerbmy presented the whole of his Trincomali collection. Mr. Hampson,
the author of the preceding part of the ' Illustrations/ offered his services for the investi-
gation of these materials and the preparation of the present part.

The value of j\Ir. Green's donation was greatly enhanced by a series of beautiful
drawings illustrating the metamorphoses of many of the species observed by him. Such as
have not been already figured by Mr. Moore, are reproduced here on two of the plates.

With regard to the localities where the collections mentioned above have been made,
Mr. Hampson has supplied me with the following particulars : —

" !Mr. Green has collected chiefly in tlic Central Province, which has an elevation of
some 3000 ft., and was once covered with forest. However, this has been almost entirely
cleared away to make room for coffee-plantations, which in their turn have given way to tea.
The fauna of this region is closely akin to that of the forested hill-districts of Southern
India, whilst its highest point, the Newera-Elyia plateau with au elevation of over 6000 ft.,
has a somewhat isolated fauna with slight PalEearetic affinities. This Central Province is the
.best known part of Ceylon, and lias been carefully worked for many years. Its Heterocera
were very fully represented in Mr. Green's collection, particularly as he had been able to
select also from the species taken by Mr. J. Pole, F. B. Armstrong, and others.

"The Hon. F. M. Mackwood collected chiefly in the same planting districts, and also
largely in the low-lying forest district of S. Ceylon which has a somewhat peculiar fauna,
in Colombo and the Northern Province, the fauna of which is similar to that of the
Indian plains,

" Mr. and Mrs. T. B. lUitt collected in the low-lying Kclani Valley of the southern
forests; whilst Major Yerbury worked at Trincomali on the E. coast. This district has a
special interest, offering marked affinities with the fauna of the Andamans as well as with
that of Peninsular India. It had never been touched except by the collectors of the ' Novara,'
most of the Ceylon species described by Fcldcr being here rediscovered."

PEEPACE. V

The author has been compelled to omit from the list of Ceylonese Ileterocera the species
which the late Mr. F. Walker described from Mr. E. L. Layard's collection in the British
Museum ' Catalogue/ the types of which, however, were never in the Museum. These insects
were placed by him in families and genera to which they have no relation whatever, and the
specimens having been lost for over twenty years (as Mr. Layard informs me), there is
scarcely any hope that the species will ever be recognized. They will be found enumerated
in a separate list, as well as a few species named by T. Nietner (' The Coffee-tree and
its Enemies,' Colombo, 1880), of which likewise the descriptions are quite insufficient.

A few of the Plates had been executed or printed before the manuscript of the text
was sent to press. As some additional materials had been received in the interval, the
nomenclature of some of the species was revised, and some changes were adopted in the text,
which are duly indicated in footuotes.

Our best thanks are due to the generous donors whose names have been mentioned
above; to Mr. F. Moore, who has given to the author every assistance in allowing him free
access to his large collections of Ceylonese Lepidoptera ; and especially to Mr. Hampson,
who has spared neither time nor labour in the preparation of this Monograph.

Larva (adult). Dorsal area brown, lateral whitish, ventral grey; a dorso-lateral ochreous
streak with darker outlines from first to end of third somite ; a lai'ge ocellus ou fourth
somite, ochreous, outlined in black and centred with pink above, black below ; a series of six

Cha;rocampa rafflesii, Butl. Tr. L. Soc. 1870, p. 556,

Larva (adult). Rich dark chocolate-brown; paired scries of some seven dorso-lateral
irregular ochrcous-whitc spots on the thoracic somites, increasing in size posteriorly ; a paired
series of seven dorso-lateral ocelli on fourth to tenth somites, the first largest, ochreous
white, outlined in black and centred with black spotted with ochreous, the other six centred
with brown ; the eleventh somite bears a long, straight, blunt horn, which is dark brown with
the tip ochreous, from the base of which two crimson streaks extend antero-latcrally, forming

ochreous-white specks from the first somite to the end of the eleventh. The stigmata are
(lark, outlined in blaek, aud hardly visible. Legs crimson.

Blown larva 3^ inches. Feeds on the same Rubiacea as C theylia.

Chserocampa vinacea. (Plate CLVII. fig. 26 & Plate CLXXV. figs. 2, 2 a.)

Expanse 21? inches.

Male. Closely allied to C. rafflesii, Butl. ; the fore wing longer and slightly narrower
and suffused with lilac ; the lateral streak on head and thorax is almost pure white, as also
are the autennse and fore legs, and the coloration of the insect generally is much brighter.

Larva (adult). Pale vinous brown; a very narrow medio-dorsal black line from first to
foui'th somite; a pair of paler dorso-lateral streaks on the thoracic somites; the fourth and
fifth somites bear paired dorso-lateral ocelli, wMch are oval in shape and ochreous, outlined in
black and centred with brown, in the first ocellus dark brown with an ochreous streak, the
second with crimson streak ; some dorsal and lateral black striaj on sixth to tenth somites ;
the stigmata are white outlined in black and conspicuous ; the fourth to terminal somites
liave scattered white lateral specks ; the horn shorter than in C rafflesii, straight and pointed,
dark brown with a white tip ; paired dark antero-lateral streaks from its base forming a

Blown larva 3^ inches. Feeds on several sjiecies of Impatiens.

Pupa. Dull fawn-colour, minutely speckled with brown ; the stigmata on alxlominal
segments enclosed in a round black spot.

The larva of this species belongs to Weismann's second group of Chcerocampa, while
those of C. theylia and rafflesii belong to the third group.

The images of C. theylia, rafflesii, and vinacea are almost indistinguishable, and whether
we have here three species breeding true, or the larvae are affected by some condition of life in
shape of horn as well as colour and number of ocelli, we have no evidence to show.

Chserocampa butus, Cram. (Plate CLXXV. fig. 10.)

Sphinx butus, Cram. Piqi. Krot. ii. p. 58.

Larva (adult). Pale green, thickly speckled with darker spots and stria; on fifth to tenth

with dark upper edge from anterior edge of fifth somite to root of horn ; stigmata edged with
pink; horn purple, stout and curved. Legs pink ; claspers green.
Feeds on Vitis.

There is a variety in which the green colour is replaced by brown, with the exception of
the oeellated spots, which remain olive-green. In some specimens there are traces ol
irregular diagonal stripes between the spiracles.

The young larva has a long thin horn recurved at tip.

Expanse ? % inch.

Female. Differs from the male in the costal fold on the underside of the fore wing being
slighter; the hind wing is fuscous, the apex not excised, and without the tuft of raised scales.

This genus resembles Padeniu in the strong costal fold to the fore wing and the excised
apex of the hind Aving in the male ; but diflers from it in venation and in having a patch of
modified scales below the costa of the liind wing instead of a tuft of hairs on the costa in
the male. Zeller's description of the venation is unsatisfactory, and his figure much more so;
in the fore wing the fifth subcostal comes off from the end of the cell Avhich is closed; in the
hind wing the costal is emitted close to the end of the cell, running through the patch of
scales to the apex ; the subcostal bifurcates before the margin ; the cell is open, the median
nervure gives off the first and third medians, the second nunlian and discoccllular being
aborted fragments wliich end abrujjtly. I;i tlie female tlie cell of the bind wing is closed,
there is a radial from the discocellulars, and two median ncrvules.

HOLOCRASPEDON, g. n.

Antennie and palpi as in Padenia and Garudinia, Moore ; the fore wing is broadei', the
apex more acute, and outer margin straighter, and the costa of hind wing is straighter. Male
with the apex of hind wing not excised nor with the costal tuft of long hairs to the hind
wing of Padenia, or the sexual brand on the underside of the fore wing of Garudinia, nor is
there a costal fold to the fore wing.

Fore wing with a costal nervurc ; two subcostal branches before the end of the cell ;
the third from the end aud bifid ; a radial from angle of discocellulars ; the lower radial
aud upper median branch from the lower end of the cell ; the two lower l)ranches from
before the end ; submedian nearly straight.

Hind wing with the costal nervure given off from the subcostal near the end of the cell ;
the subcostal branches near the apex ; the radial and upper median branch from tlie lower
end of the cell ; the two lower branches from before the end ; an internal nervure, but no
submedian.

Pore leg with no tibial spine; mid legs with a terminal pair; hind legs with two pairs,
as in Padenia and Garudinia.

In Padenia, type transversa, the third subcostal of the fore wing is trifid ; the disco-
cellulars very short, with the upper median branch in the male springing from the lower
end of the cell ; the two lower branches arising together from a long way before the end ;
whilst in the female two median branches arise from the lower cud of the cell, the upper
giving off the radial before the margin.

In Garudinia the third subcostal is bifid aud there is a radial as in HoJocraspedon ; there
is a bifid median branch from the lower end of the cell, and one branch from before the end
in both sexes.

In the hind wing of both Padenia and Garudinia the subcostal is terminated by the
excision before the bifurcation in the male, and in both sexes a radial aud bifid median
branch arise from the lower end of the cell, and one median branch arises before the end.

H3Tia oblataria, Wlh. Cat. xxii. p. (iG.5.

Larva. Covered with comminuted lichen arranged in tufts upon particular somites. The
colour of the covering varies with that of the lichen upon which the larva has been feeding.
The larva itself is cylindrical, smooth, and without any tubercles corresponding to the promi-
nent parts of its covering, and has three pairs of prolegs. It feeds on minute lichens growing
upon rocks and trees. If several larvre are confined together without other food they will
feed on the lichens with which they are covered. The cocoou is suspended by a cable of silk
beneath sheltered rocks, and is similarly covered with lichens.
