PREFACE.

IN the present volume the two remaining subfamilies of the
Noctuida, the FociUincB and Deltoidina, are described. The
latter consists of slenderly built, semidiurnal, grass-frequenting
forms which show far greater diversity of structure in both
generic and secondary sexual characters than the other groups
of the Noctuidae. It exhibits a gradual development from
forms with straight palpi fringed with hair above, such as
Hypena, which is closely allied to the Sarrothripince and to
the ancestors of the Noctuidce and Nolina, through forms
with oblique palpi, to a group possessing palpi of an extremely
curved sickle-shaped type : from this group arose the stouter
built more typically Noctuiform and nocturnal Focillinae
and Quadrifince.

The Epicopiida, Uraniidae, Epiplemida , and Geometridae
belong to the group of families in which vein 5 of the fore
wing arises from the middle of the discocellulars. The first
three are closely allied and might perhaps be regarded as
subdivisions of one family, the Uraniida, which is most nearly
related to the Bombycidce and Saturniidce, some early form of
the same stock having also given rise to the Geometridte and
Notodontidc?.

In the Geometridce Mr. Meyrick's excellent division into
subfamilies has been followed, and his classification will almost
certainly remain as the basis of any future work on the
subject. His definitions of the European genera also are
found to hold to a great extent for Indian forms, but least so
in the Boarmiince, which is far the most difficult subfamily to
classify, owing to the great diversity of structure that is found
in closely allied forms and to a large amount of individual
variation. It will require a considerably extended study,
embracing the forms of all the zoological regions, before a
really permanent classification can be arrived at.

The Orthostixincs and (EnochromincB contain the most
primitive forms in the family ; the former has vein 8 of the
hind wing connected with the cell by a bar near the base, the
remains of one of the lost subcostals. From the Orthostixince
have arisen (1) the Acidaliince and Geometrince , by vein 8 of

the hind wing becoming widely separated from the cell except
near the base ; (2) the Larentiina, by the bar migrating to
near the end of the cell, or by vein 8 anastomosing with the
cell to near its end ; (3) the Boarmiina, by vein 5 of the hind
wing becoming aborted, vein 8 being free or retaining the
bar in the lowest forms, such as Abraxas and its allies.

In the original scheme of the work it was estimated that
it would be possible to include most of the subfamilies of
the Pyralidce within the limits of the third volume, but the
great activity that has prevailed among students of Indian
Moths and the large number of species that have been
described during the four years that the volumes have been
in preparation have made this impossible. The publication,
however, of M. Ragonot's first volume on the Phycitinte, a
group of Moths that, owing to the ravages committed by
many of the species among forest-trees, corn, cotton, tobacco,
&c., is of more economic importance than any other, except
perhaps the silk-producing Bombycidce and Satvrniida, and
the approaching completion of his second volume, which
will include the GalleriinG, have made it possible to study
the subject as a whole. Thus the postponement of the
Pyralida is hardly to be regretted if at some future time
a fourth volume is sanctioned containing the whole of
that family and also an Appendix bringing the rest of the
work up to date. This would complete the subject down
to the families for which Lord Walsingham has the whole
of the material in course of preparation for publication.

I have to thank Dr. O. Staudinger for his courtesy in
sending me the types of all the species described by Mr. Moore
from the Atkinson Collection, of which no specimens exist in
England, and for having thus enabled me to determine the
affinities of many species I had otherwise no means of classi-
fying. The whole of the gentlemen mentioned in the preface
to my first volume have also continued their assistance in
the freest and most generous manner. In addition Mr. G.
C. Dudgeon has first placed at my disposal, and then presented
to the British Museum, the results of his many years' col-
lecting in Sikhim and Bhutan; and, lastly, M. L. de Niceville,
the author of the invaluable volumes on the Butterflies of
India, has sent me many new and rare species fromTenasserim.

A large family of moths, almost always of slender build, and of
semidiurnal or crepuscular habits, dominant at the present day.
Proboscis present or rarely absent. Legs and tarsi slender,
elongate, and naked, or slightly clothed with hair. Pore wing with
vein 1 a forming a fork with 1 6, 1 c absent ; vein 5 from or from
above middle of the discocellulars, 7 rising from 8, 9 *. Hind wing
with the frenulum usually present, but absent in a few genera ;

running to anal angle ; 1 c absent ; 8 with a well-developed pre-
costal spur.

Larvce with the three anterior pairs of abdominal claspers totally
aborted, and progressing by bringing the posterior somites close to
the thoracic, looping the medial somites. In a few ancestral forms,
of the subfamily (Enochromince especially, there is a tendency to
develop additional prolegs and to a more ordinary mode of pro-
gression.

Subfamily BOAEMIIN^.

Hind wing with vein 5 obsolete *, with no production of the outer
margin at the termination of the fold that represents it, and veins
6 and 4 considerably approximated ; vein 8 free and running close
along 7 to about middle of cell, very rarely anastomosing with it.

In this subfamily a fovea or pit of hyaline membrane on the
underside of the fore wing at the base of vein 1, probably acting
as a tympanum, is developed in very many species in the males,
a character hardly found in any other group of Lepidoptera.
Another very characteristic structure is the dilatation of the hind
tibiae in the male, with a fold containing a tuft of long hair acting
as a scent-organ.

suffusion beyond the postmedial line, especially on apical area.

Cornaria is a fuscous form with the underside also fuscous,
usually with some white marginal patches beyond the submarginal
band ; procursaria is a variety of this form, with the postmedial
line of fore wing more oblique and slightly sinuous, not waved

Acaciaria is a form with the ground-colour whitish on upper
and under sides, the submarginal band on the latter slightly deve-
loped ; illustraria, from Australia, has the black on outer area of
underside more extensive, whilst in determinate, from Borneo, it
covers nearly half the wing; in processaria, from Moulmein, there
is a prominent medial line to both wings excurved round the cell-
spot on fore wing, and sending a dark streak along vein 4 to outer

The typical form has the head, thorax, and abdomen fuscous
and grey. Fore wing with the base grey-brown, with waved
subbasal line ; a chestnut antemedial band angled below costa and
edged by waved black lines ; the medial band broad and white, with
two waved black lines on it, which enclose a black discocellular
speck and form an annulus and figure-of-8-shaped mark below the
cell, its outer edge oblique from the costa to vein 4, where it is
doubly toothed, then inwardly-oblique and strongly toothed to
inner margin ; a dentate grey submarginal line, with chestnut
between it and the marginal band. Hind wing pale fuscous
brown ; underside with cell-speck and irregularly curved line.

The Himalayan form nearest to the typical European form is
calamistrata, which differs in the abdomen and hind wing being white ;
cinereata has the whole base of fore wing rufous, the grey of the
medial band extending over the whole outer area except the apex
and a chestnut submarginal spot on inner margin, the waved lines
and edges to the band obsolescent ; in another form the area
between end of cell and outer angle is suffused with pale rufous.

Another set of forms are grey suffused in parts with fuscous, or
with the medial band of fore wing clear grey.

The form immanata, of which typical specimens occur in the
N.W. Himalayas, has the medial band dark ; whilst another form
has the fore wing uniform rufous, except for the four waved lines,
which are whitish ; and another form with the dark band has its
white edges connected by a bar above vein 1.

Subapicaria is a dark form from Sikhim, usually with a
prominent white patch on the costa of fore wing beyond the
medial band ; the hind wing black-brown ; another form has the
cell-spot on a large white patch extending to the costa, and the
postmedial line white throughout : the form albiancjulata has a red
antemedial band ; an oblique white bar from middle of costa to
lower angle of cell ; the postmedial line replaced by a white band
angled outwards almost to the margin at vein 4 and acutely in-
wards below vein 2, sending a tooth inwards below vein 6, and
with a red maculate band, most prominent near costa, beyond it.
