LIST OF THE 'jy, SPECIMENS LEPIDOPTEROUS INSECTS THE COLLECTON OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. FRANCIS WALKER, F.L.S., &c. PART XIX.— PYRALIDES. PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES. LONDON, 1859. LONDON: PRINTED BY EDWARD NEWMAN, 9, Devonshire Street, Bishopsgate. i\ \tX v, PREFACE. The object of the present Catalogue is to give a com- plete list of all the genera and species of Pyralites 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. The fifth Series, commencing the Geometrites, is in the Printers hands. JOHN EDWARD GRAY. B ritish Museum , November 12, 1859. CATALOGUE OF LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. FOURTH SERIES. Genus 15. SCELIODES.

LONDON: PRINTED BY ED WAR D NEWMAN, 9, Devonshire Street, Bishopsgate. PREFACE. The object of the present Catalogue is to give a com- plete list of all the genera and species of Geometrites 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.

Legs long, smooth or slightly pilose ; hind tibiae often thickened ; spurs four, with very few exceptions. Wings ample, slight, delicate, generally expanded in repose, braced together by a bristle, not folded. Hind wings often alike in colour to the fore wings and with like markings. Larva looped while walking ; three first pairs of membranous legs almost always wanting, and in all cases shorter than the others. Pupa smooth ; abdominal segments free. In Guenee’s ‘Histoire Naturelle des Insectes Lepidopteres ’ the Geometrites are preceded by Urania and Coronis and their allies, which have been described in the first series of this Catalogue. The genus Hazis , of which he forms the family Hazidce and includes with the Geometrites , is also mentioned in that series. i A. Alas anticae semper acuminatae ; posticae saepissime caudatae.

The three following species, of which the two latter may be varieties of U. Polilia , differ much from the typical form of Urap- teryx, and may form a new genus between it and Charodes . U. Polilia varies in the markings of the wings and in the caudal angle of the hind wings, and some of the specimens here recorded have less likeness to the typical specific form than to U. complicata. 2.

Male. Very pale ochraceous, mostly whitish beneath. Head brownish, whitish above. Palpi with blackish tips. Legs minutely black-speckled ; anterior knees black ; hind tibiae much thickened. Wings with a few indistinct little transverse ochraceous streaks, and with a few minute black speckles ; the latter more prevalent on the under side ; the line straight, oblique, whitish, bordered with ochra- ceous on its inner side ; discal interior black point distinct ; a blackish exterior diffuse zigzag line, which is almost obsolete on the fore wings. Fore wings subfalcate ; the line towards the costa indicated only by elongated white points on the veins ; exterior border very slightly bent, hardly angular. Hind wings with a very distinct angle, but not caudate. Length of the body 8 lines; of the wings 19 lines. This species, like C. incurvata , may be distinguished from the other three preceding species by the exterior border of the fore wings ; it also agrees with C. incurvata in having no traces of the inner line, which is very distinct in C. transposita , slight in C. transversata , and almost or quite obsolete in C. transmutans. The more prominent angle of the hind wings and the colour of the line sufficiently separate it from C. incurvata . a. St. John’s Bluff, East Florida. Presented by E. Doubleday Esq.

Female . Reddish ochraceous, slightly and minutely speckled with black. Head whitish above. Win^s hardly purplisli-tinged, with a straight oblique cinereous line, which is bordered with brown on both sides ; a black interior discal point. Fore wings acute, fal- cate ; the line with white points on its fore part, ceasing on ap- proaching the costa ; exterior border very slightly angular. Hincl wings with the exterior border distinctly angular and slightly cau- date ; interior border fringed with white hairs. Length of the body 7—8 lines ; of the wings 20 — 22 lines. Whether this is a distinct species, or whether it and C . trans- posita , and some of the following species are mere varieties of C. transversata is a question yet to be decided. The line and the black points of the wings distinguish it from C. transversata , and in both these characters it resembles C. incurvata , from which it dif- fers by the angular exterior border of the fore wings, and by the more decided angle of the hind wings. a — c .

Fore wings falcate ; discal point nearly obso- lete. Hind wings beneath with a small brown discal spot. Length of the body 8 lines ; of the wings 18 lines. The specimen here described differs from the variety of T. inspirata in having no white band on the head, in the fore wings having the costa of the ground hue, and in the much smaller discal point. a.
