INTRODUCTION.

The principal object of the present Catalogue has been to
give a complete Hst of all the Crambid^ that have been re-
corded as found in Great Britain, indicating at the same time
those species that are contained in the Collection.

This part of the Catalogue has been prepared by the late
.J AAT^jS ■,RE.ijyn j^ ^ [pijF. Y^^TF.xs ■ Esq . ■ so well known for his works
on British Insects, for the extent of liis cabmet, and the libe-
rality with which he allowed it to be consulted, and who died
unexpectedly wliile the first sheet was in the press.

Mr. Stephens has endeavoured to arrange these insects ac-
cording to theii' natm-al affinities, so far as is practicable with a
local collection ; and has taken great pains to ascertain every
name w^hich has been appHed to the respective species and their
varieties, the author of the same, and the date of publication ;
the references to such names as are unaccompanied by descrip-
tions being included iii parentheses : all are arranged chronolo-
gically, excepting those to the illustrations and to the figures,
which invariablv follow their authorities.

INTRODUCTION.

The species in the British Museum Collection are indicated
by the letters, B. M., annexed ; while those in the Synoptic
List, to which doubt is attached as to their indigenous preten-
sions, are distmguished by an asterisk (-) prefixed.

PREFACE.

The object of the present Catalogue is to give a com-
plete list of all the genera and species of Noctuidse known
to exist in the different collections. The letters a, b, 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.

Body generally stout. Proboscis very generally moderately long.
Palpi distinct, often rather long, very long in a few species. An-
tennae setaceous, slender, longer than the thorax, rarely pectinated,
except in the males of some species. Abdomen generally extending
beyond the hind wings. Legs most frequently moderately long and
stout, occasionally slender ; hind tibiae generally with four long
spurs. Wings moderately broad, rarely narrow or very broad, sel-
dom long. Fore wings straight in front, rounded or angular at the
lips, moderately or very oblique along the exterior border. Larva
generally naked, cylindrical and robust, and with ten prehensile
feet, in some families elongate and slender, more or less looping,
and with eight or sixteen prehensile feet. Pupa mostly changing
in the ground, rarely in a slight web.

The distinction between the Nocluites and the Bomhycites has
been already mentioned, and the former, with very few exceptions,
may easily be distinguished from the Genmetrites., but some of the
aberrant groups are closely allied to the Pyraliles, whose structure is
extremely variable.

Note. — Guenee's genus Prometopus does not seem to be allied
to Diphtera, but rather to the second division of Noctuites, or, as he
remarks, to the Notodontidce.

The genus Colocasia which follows Prometopus in Guenee's
arrangement, is noticed in this Catalogue, 1st Series, p. 787.

the length of the terminal joint of the palpi, and in other characters.

oblique along the exterior border, tufted beneath at the base;
fourth inferior vein moderately remote from the others, which are

of the second group.
