PREFACE.

" ———-7 ys.

THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a com-
plete list of all the genera and species of Noctuide known
to exist in the different collections. The letters a, b, e¢,
| &c., after the Eecdien’ denote the specimens now contained
: in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the mode
in which each of ae was obtained, and the absence of
these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and

therefore desirable to be procured for the collection.

Tue object of the present Catalogue is to give a com-
plete list of all the genera and species of Noctuide known
to exist in the different collections. The letters a, 0, ¢,
&c., 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.

THIRD SERIES.

Fam. 8. HADENIDA.

Palpi pilosi, sepissime robusti et ascendentes. Antenne sim-
plices, maris raro pectinate. Abdomen sat crassum, sepissime
cristatum. Pedes validi; tibie postice calcaribus longis. Ale
antice coloribus variis, linea submarginali fracta.

Hadenidi, p., Guen. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. vii. 201.
Hadenide, Guen. Noct. ii. 14.

Palpi pilose, very generally robust and ascending. Antenne
simple, rarely pectinated in the male. Abdomen rather stout, most
often crested. Legs stout; hind tibiz with long spurs. Fore
wings with various colours, very generally of moderate breadth. |
The characters of this family are somewhat various, and especially
those of the genus Hadena, in which some of the species have the
third joint of the palpi very minute; but they may be easily
distinguished from the other genera with palpi of the above
structure.

PREFACE.

_ Tue object of the present Catalogue is to give a com-
| plete list of all the genera and species of Noctuide known

| to exist in the different collections. The letters a, ), c,

_&c., 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.

Male. Brownish fawn-colour. Abdomen a little paler than
the thorax. Fore wings with a slight purplish tinge along the ex-
terior border, with three rows of brown spots along the costa, and
with blackish submarginal dots; several indistinct undulating
double transverse brown lines ; an indistinct chalybeous spot by the
interior angle. Hind wings pale fawn-colout, slightly clouded with
brown, and with a very broad brown border, which is divided by a
fawn-coloured band and a chalybeous patch; the latter includes a
deep black spot with two white streaks and a fawn-coloured fore
border. Length of the body 103— 123 lines; of the wings 23—25
lines.

This species is very nearly allied to D. Hatuey, from which it
may be distinguished by not having the red mark at the interior
angle of the fore wings, and by some other slight characters.
