INTRODUCTION.

At the Monthly General Meeting of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, held on November 7th,
1877, the Chairman, Mr. W. T. Blanford, F.R.S., and Vice-President of the Society,
announced as follows :—

‘That arrangements had been made for publishing an extra volume, containing the
descriptions by Messrs. Moore and Hewitson of the new species of Lepidoptera in the late
Mr. Atkinson’s collections, as announced at the March Meeting. It was proposed that the
volume should be in Four Parts, quarto. The first Part would be put in hand at once; and
the remaining three Parts would be completed in the course of the next two years. The
work would be illustrated by coloured Plates. Owing to the expense, 225 copies * only
would be printed, and would be available to Members by purchase after presentations
had been made to the Societies interested in Natural History exchanging with the

Society.”

The scheme of publication here described was an enlargement of that which, on the
suggestion of Mr. F. Moore of the India Museum, I had proposed to the Society early in
1877. The Society’s ‘ Proceedings’ for March of that year, to which Mr. Blanford makes
reference, record the letter submitting my recommendation, as well as the Council’s action

thereon.

Briefly, my letter stated that Mr. Atkinson’s magnificent collection of Lepidoptera,
specially rich as it was known to be in Heterocera, had been purchased by Mr. Hewitson,
and had since gone to Germany, but that Mr. F. Moore had made arrangements with the

moreover, will consist of Three Parts only.

purchaser to examine the novelties among the Nocturnals, and had offered to describe them
in the Society’s Journal if the Council would find room for his paper. It was estimated
that the new species would number 650, thus ranged—

and that they might be described and illustrated by uncoloured figures of selected types
at no great cost. Such a paper I observed might be published as an extra number of
the Journal, with a brief Introductory Memoir, which I would supply, on the plan fol-
lowed in the case of the late Mr. Blyth’s Burmah Catalogues.

The promptitude with which the Council adopted the above recommendation showed
their appreciation of the motives which led me to make it. The Society could not offer a
more appropriate tribute to the memory of a distinguished Member and office-bearer than
by securing for their own publications the record of his many and valuable contributions to
the Lepidopterous fauna of India.

The larger scheme of publication adopted by the Council, and their sanction of the use
of coloured Plates, enabled me to enlist the ever-willing services of the late Mr. Hewitson
in the undertaking. On learning that a quarto Plate could be placed at his disposal, he at
once offered to figure four of the new species of Diurnals which he had obtained from the
Atkinson collection, and to republish with the figures the descriptions which he had
already given of them in the ‘ Entomologists’ Monthly Magazine’ (Dec. 1876).

Plate I. of this work has now a melancholy interest, inasmuch as its proofs were
corrected on the dying bed of this enthusiastic Lepidopterist. His last note to me in con-
nexion with the proofs is dated May 23rd, five days only before his death.

I proceed to give a short personal notice of the assiduous Collector whose successful
labours in the field will be found recorded and illustrated by such competent hands in the
following pages.

Wi.uiAM STEPHEN ATKINSON was the eldest son of the Rev. Thomas D. Atkinson, of
Chesterton, in Suffolk, where he was born in September 1820. He was educated at home;
and his boyish tastes for the study of nature seem to have been developed on Cannock
Chase, on his father becoming Vicar of Rugeley. It was here that he commenced what
gradually became a very complete collection of British Lepidoptera, including the Tineina,
which latter were with him favourite objects of study.

INTRODUCTION. vu

He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1839, and obtained a Scholarship, passing
out as 26th Wrangler in 1843. After some further stay at Cambridge, during which he
occupied himself in tutorial duties, he came to London to study for the profession of Civil
Engineer ; but on being offered the appointment of Principal of the Martiniere College, he
went out to Calcutta in November 1854, having previously married Miss Montford, daughter
of the Vicar of East Winch, in Norfolk. He joined the Asiatic Society in July 1855,
and towards the close of the same year succeeded me as its Secretary, continuing to hold
that office till 1864.

The new and rich fauna which now offered itself at once fascinated him; and as I had
then a considerable collection of Bengal Lepidoptera, consisting for the most part of the
larger Diurnals and Nocturnals obtained by the late Mr. Robert Frith, he was a frequent
visitor at my house. Sharing as he did my interest in the transformations of the many
species which could be observed in the neighbourhood of Allipore, the breeding-cages and
the progress made by my native artist * in figuring the several stages of the imago had
for him a special attraction. His experience as a collector, and consequent familiarity
with the larvee of British species, gave a point to his observations and criticisms which often
proved of the greatest assistance to me.

He had not been many months in Calcutta before he reported to Mr. Stainton his
first discoveries of Tineina, a group which no Indian entomologist had yet ventured to
touch. His practised eyes detected traces of a miner on the leaf of Bauhinia purpurea; and
Lithocolletis Bauhinie was, I, believe, the first Microlepidopterous species that ever reached
this country from India. It was described in 1856, with two other species, by Mr. Stainton
in the Trans. Entom. Soc., new ser. vol. ii. p. 8301. Myr. Atkinson at the same time became
a Member of the Entomological Society.

How assiduously and with what success he pursued his researches in this new and
difficult field of Indian Entomological research, may be gathered from the opening remarks
of a later paper by Mr. Stainton when describing, in 1858, twenty-five species of Indian
Microlepidoptera (Trans. Entom. Soc. new ser. vol. v. p. 111). One of these species, the
type of a new genus of Elachistide named after its discoverer, Atkinsonia clerodendronella,
I hope to see reproduced, as this work proceeds, from a drawing in my own possession.

In a third paper of Mr. Stainton’s, describing and figuring nine exotic species of the
genus Gracilaria (Trans. Ent. Soc. 3rd ser. vol. i. p. 291, 1862), I find that five species were

* In one of his letters to Mr. Stainton I find him paying the following just tribute to the drawings of this
artist, the late Munshi Zynulabdin, who for many successive years worked in Mr. Frith’s and my employ :—“ His
execution is as good as any I ever saw; in fact it could hardly be better; but he has never drawn under a micro-

scope.”

viil INTRODUCTION.

contributed by Mr. Atkinson. Zeller’s ‘ Monograph of the Crambide,’ * again, published in
1863, records the following five species obtained from the same source :—

Scirpophaga auriflua. Schcenobius minutellus.
gilviberbis. Calamotropha Atkinsoni.
Schcenobius punctellus.

It must be borne in mind that all the specimens sent home by Mr. Atkinson were
bred by himself, and that for most of them the larve were described; and I cannot here
refrain from extracting from one of his letters to Mr. Stainton (July 11, 1856) a passage
which sets forth some of the difficulties which will always beset the tropical Micro-
lepidopterist :—

“The smaller Tineina are especially difficult to manage: one’s fingers and every thing
else are sticky with damp and heat; and one can hardly live, except under a punkah.
You can imagine, therefore, the difficulty of pinning creatures of the size of Nepticula, and
will not be surprised to hear that I have failed entirely in pinning two small species of
Phyllocnistis, and several other things of the like size. The Indian Tineina are certainly
much smaller, on the average, than those of Europe, which is singular, considering the
luxuriance of vegetation, and in marked contrast with the large size of the predominant
Diurnal Lepidoptera.”

Mr. Atkinson generally employed the short autumn vacations in excursions to places
within easy. reach of Calcutta; and in 1860 he paid his first visit to Darjiling. It was in
this year that he was appointed Director of Public Instruction under the Bengal Govern-
ment, a post which he held till he finally quitted India. I think I may say that the bulk
of his fine collection of Moths were captured during his repeated visits to Darjiling. His
wife had preceded him thither, and by simply showing a lamp against a white wall had been
in the habit every evening of taking numerous novelties. The exceptional richness in
Nocturnals of Mr. Atkinson’s cabinets is due entirely to the systematic way in which, thus
aided by his wife, he attracted and collected his own specimens, instead of relying on the
casual captures of native collectors. When at Darjiling myself, in 1864, I witnessed the
success of his ambush on more than one occasion.

I regret that his widow has not been able to find any notes of Mr. Atkinson’s tour in
the Sikkim Hills, made in company with the late Dr. Thomas Anderson, of the Calcutta
Botanic Garden. He often spoke to me of this expedition, and of the useful information
which it obtained for him in regard to the localities and elevations in which the numerous
so-called “ Darjiling” Lepidoptera are met with. The vague indications of locality so com-
monly furnished by museum-labels were highly obnoxious to him; and I have in my

* ¢Chilonidarum et Crambidarum Genera et Species.’

‘possession copy of revised localities which he compiled for the improvement of any further
edition of Horsfield and Moore’s India-Museum Catalogues. I have now before me
a memorandum-book kindly lent to me by Mrs. Atkinson, in which I find noted for
Kashmir, which he visited in 1874, just the particulars which I should have expected in
his Sikkim diary.

Mr. Atkinson resigned the Secretaryship of the Asiatic Society in 1864, and in the
following year was elected one of its Vice-Presidents and nominated a Trustee of the New
Indian Museum. His official duties necessarily occupied the greater part of his time; and
the want of leisure as well as of books of reference prevented him from venturing on the
description of any of the novelties which now filled his drawers. He was, however, in
frequent correspondence with Mr. F. Moore, who, in his paper “On the Lepidopterous
Insects of Bengal” (P. Z. S. 1865, p. 755), described, but did not figure, three new species of
Saturniide sent home from Darjiling by Mr. Atkinson. These were Cricula drepanoides,
Saturnia anna, and Loepa sikkima—the two last having the provisional names assigned to
them by Mr. Atkinson. Another fine species of the same group, Loepa miranda, Atkinson,
was described by Mr. Moore in Trans. Entom. Soc. ser. 3, vol. ii. p. 424, 1865; but neither
of this has any figure yet been published.

Mr. F. Walker’s Catalogue of the Heterocerous Lepidoptera in the British Museum
contains in its Supplements (Parts 31-35, 1865-66) several new species sent home by Mr.
Atkinson to be described and named. As the types of these were, I believe, returned to
India by Mr. Walker, it is to be feared they are lost to this country, though duplicates,
where they existed, will probably be found among the specimens which he told me he had
presented, before leaving Calcutta, to the Indian Museum.

In Hewitson’s ‘ Exotic Butterflies’ I find figures only of the three following species
of Mr. Atkinson’s :—

Vol. ii. 1862-66. Erycinipa. . . Dodona dipoea. Darjiling.
Hesperia phenicis. India *.

Vol. iv. 1867-71. Husrere | * , a
: Hesperia eltola. Darjiling.

It was not until 1865, when Mr. Atkinson came to England on three months’ leave,
that he made Mr. Hewitson’s aquaintance. Of the other novelties from Darjiling described
by the latter in this work, I find Myrina symira figured in Supplementary Plate III. 6 of
Part VIII. (and last) of his ‘ Illustrations of Diurnal Lepidoptera,’ which has been published
since his death. The two Hesperide (/. cephala and H. cerata) were doubtless reserved to
be figured in another Part of the same work which he proposed to devote to this family.

* Identical, Mr. Moore tells me, with a Hesperia which both Mr. Atkinson and I had reared on the Date-tree at
Allipore.

x INTRODUCTION.

As Mr. Hewitson mentioned twelve species of Rhopalocera in the Atkinson collection as
being hitherto unknown, there yet remain for description four species, to be dealt with by
the British Museum authorities, into whose hands Mr. Hewitson’s unique collection has
passed.

The first original descriptions by Mr. Atkinson were undertaken on the return of
Major Sladen’s expedition from Yunan. His paper, which was communicated to the
Zoological Society by Dr. J. Anderson in 1871*, described three new species of Diurnal
Lepidoptera from Western Yunan, collected by Dr. Anderson in 1868. These species
were Aimona lena, Zophoessa andersont, and Plesioneura liliana, all of them being

well figured.

In 1878 Mr. Atkinson contributed two more papers to the same Society. One of
them + described and figured a new and beautiful species of Butterfly which had been sent
to him by Dr. Lidderdale from Bhutan, and which, in the belief that it would form a
new genus intermediate between Thais and the Chinese Sericinus, he named Bhutanitis
lidderdalii. THe was not aware, nor was I till Mr. Moore called my attention to the fact,
that a closely allied species had already been described by Blanchard in the ‘Comptes
Rendus,’ 1871, p. 809, and constituted the type of his new genus Armandia, named after
the Abbé Armand David, who had sent it home from Moupin. Blanchard’s genus will take
precedence of Bhutanitis, owing to the delay which occurred in Mr. Atkinson’s publication
of his description of Armandia lidderdalii, which seems to have come into his hands in May
1868. A figure of the Abbé David's species, Armandia thaitina, will be found in the second
livraison of the ‘Etudes d’Entomologie, printed in November 1876 (but apparently not
published), at M. Charles Oberthiir’s press at Rennes. A comparison of the figures leaves no
room to doubt the close affinity of the two species, which are both from high elevations,
and will probably be found to meet each other on the slopes of the mountains which divide
Assam from Western China. It will be interesting to ascertain the range eastward of A.
lidderdalii, and to learn whether its larva feeds on the Aristolochia, which the Abbé} tells
us is the food-plant both of Sericinus and Armandia thaitina, the two forms which, he
adds, replace Thais in Europe.

Mr. Atkinson’s third paper), contributed to the Zoological Society in the same year,
described and figured two new species of Butterflies from the Andaman Islands. These
were Papilio mayo, a fine species of the Polymnestor group, and Euplwa andamanensis.
He confined himself to bare descriptions, though no one was more competent than he was
to offer observations on the distribution of allied species, and the isolation of these two

INTRODUCTION. xi

forms of genera, so abundant in Indian species, is a fact which affords room for much

interesting comment.

This is not the place in which to speak of Mr. Atkinson’s career as a public officer.
His duties of superintending the Education Department in Bengal were highly interesting
to him, and such as previous training well qualified him to discharge efficiently. When
he left India on furlough in the early part of 1875, he hardly calculated on returning to that
country, and brought home with him his entire collections. He intended to remain in
England for three years, whether his term of office was renewed * by Government or other-
wise, and to devote his furlough to working out the new species which form the subject of
this paper. But before settling down to this task, he was advised to recruit his health by
an excursion on the Continent, and he resolved to spend his first winter in Italy. He
called on me in the autumn to announce his plans, and to inform me of an arrangement
which he had fortunately been able to make for leaving undisturbed within Custom-House
limits the numerous cases containing his collections. He was then in the best of spirits,
and dwelt much on the pleasant prospect of opening his cases on his return to England in
the spring. But this prospect was not to be realized. He was attacked by pneumonia at
Rome in January 1876, and died, after a few days’ illness, on the 15th of that month.

It will be borne in mind that the figures here published represent but a small proportion
of the new species of Heterocera described by Mr. Moore, who, being limited to a certain
number of Plates, had necessarily to select the species to be reproduced in them, and who
has exercised his discretion wisely in figuring the more typical forms in each family. For
the Lithosiide he has been able to dispense with figures altogether, as he has so recently
revised the family in a well-illustrated paper contributed to the Zoological Society in
January 1876, in which appear many of the forms of the Atkinson Collection.

I have to acknowledge the assistance rendered to me by Mr. Stainton in kindly placing
at my disposal several letters addressed to him by Mr. Atkinson on his first arrival in
India.

till after his death.
