INTRODUCTION.

THE object of the present Catalogue has been to give a
complete list of the specimens of Lepidopterous Insects con-
tained in the collection of the British Museum, indicating at
the same time the peculiarities of each, as regards variation
of character, locality, and the source from whence it has been
derived. With this view, the different individuals of each
species contained in the collection are indicated by the letters
a, b, ¢, &c., following the name of the species and its syno-
- nymes, and the description, if it appeared to have been before

undescribed.

LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 1511

Body very thick. Palpi generally very short, not visible, of
moderate length in some species. Antenne serrated or pectinated,
longer than the thorax. Abdomen extending more or less beyond
the hind wings. Legs stout, pilose; hind tibie with four short
spurs. Wings rather long, hardly broad. Fore wings hardly con-
vex along the costa, rounded at the tips, very oblique along the ex-
terior border ; first and second inferior veins almost contiguous at
the base ; third near the second and about thrice further from the
fourth. Female.——Oviduct serrated.

The few species of this genus differ much from each other in
the length of the palpi, in the antenne and in other characters, but
have great general mutual resemblance, and are therefore not
divided from the genus of the typical species C. ligniperda.

LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 1547

This genus differs much from the other genera of Cosside, and
has some resemblance to the Noctuites. The four following species
may be all varieties of M. Smerintha.

lide fuscis; ale antice nigro subpunctate, macula apicalr

Hepialide, Steph. Ill. Brit. Ent. Haust. ii. 3. Newman, Ent.
Mag. i. 67.
Zeuzeridi, p., Boisd.

The wing-veins of the Hepialide are very different from those
of the other Bombycites in structure. The discal areolet is as it
were doubled; the second inferior vein is about ten times further
from the third than from the first; the third is joined to the discal
areolet_ by an oblique veinlet, and to the submedian vein by two
veinlets, whose junction forms an acute angle, which emits a vein
to the border.

The Zygenide (including the pip aie and Gilaucopides of
Boisduval), the Chalcosiide, the Lithostide and the Arctiide form
a natural and definite group, which is connected, by means of T7i-
chosoma and some other genera, with the other great group, which
contains the Liparide, Psychide, Notodontide, Limacodide, Dre-
panulide, Saturniide, Bombycide, Cosside and Hepialide. The
two groups, each of which may be distinguished by a name, mostly
differ from each other by the following characters :-—

First group. Flight very generally diurnal. Proboscis or
maxille very generally developed. Palpi generally elongated. An-
tenne simple or moderately pectinated. Body slightly or mode-
rately hairy. Wings with bright and frequently with metallic
colours or vitreous. Connected with the Hesperiide through the
Castnit and the Cydimonii, with the Noctuites by some genera of
Arctiide, and apparently with the Pyralttes and the Tineites by a
few Lithosiida, and with the following group by means of Tricho-
soma and Orgyia, &c.

Second group. Flight very generally nocturnal. Proboscis
very generally obsolete. Palpi very frequently short and concealed.
Antenne most often very deeply pectinated in the males. Body,
with a few exceptions, very hairy. Wings (excluding the Satur-
ntide) dull or white, rarely thinly feathered or vitreous. Connected
with the Noctuites through some genera of Notodontide, with the
Tineites by the Psychide, and closely joined to the 4’geriide by
means of the Cosstde, which family may also connect them with
Depressaria and other ’Micro-Lepidoptera.

LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 1605

This species is nearly allied to J. vesparia, but may he distin-
guished by its smaller size, by the hind part of the abdomen, which
is not black with blue stripes as in J. vesparia, by the posterior
tibie, which are not striped with black, and by having no black
mark on the hind border of the hind wings. In the two last cha-
racters it agrees with LZ. Porphyria, but the fore wings have not
black tips.

Female. Pale luteous. Antenne serrated, black, luteous at
the base. Prothorax with black borders. Thorax with three black
stripes. Metathorax with a black band and a black stripe.

black bands and with an interrupted dorsal black stripe. Hind
tibia with a short blackish stripe on the outer side. Wings limpid,
with black veins and black cilie. Fore wings with black tips.
Length of the body 33 lines; of the wings 10 lines.

This species especially resembles a Hymenupterous insect, and
differs somewhat in structure from the three preceding species.
There are but two superior veins; the first inferior vein is almost
straight, and more remote from the discal fold, and the transverse
veinlets of the discal areolet form a much more obtuse angle. It is
connected with Pecilosoma by means of P. gaudens.

widened at the tips of the hind wings. The antenne are rather
more tufted above than in the female.

Genus PSPEUDOSPHEX.

P. Zethus and P. Polistes will form two distinct genera; P.
Zethus may be considered as the type of Pseudosphex ; and the ge-
neric name Myrmecopsis may be restored to P. Polistes, P. tarsalis
and P. semthyalina.

PsEUDOSPHEX CONSOBRINA.

Mas. Flava; vertex nigro fasciatus ; palpi nigro guttatt ; anten-
ne apice supra albo ; thorax fasciis duabus anticis vittisque
quingue nigris ; abdomen testaceum, basi flavum ferrugineo
bimaculatum, apice ferrugineum ; pedes testacei ; ale lim-
pide. |

Male. ‘Yellow. Head with a slender black band on the ver-
tex. Palpi with a black dot at each base and another near each tip.
Antenne black, white above towards the tips. Thorax with two
black bands in front, and with five black stripes. Abdomen testa-
ceous in the middle, ferruginous towards the tip, and with two fer-
ruginous triangular spots at the base. Legs testaceous. Wings

This species may be distinguished from P. Zethus by having
no red spot between the eyes; by the abdomen without bands; and
by the limpid wings, whose tips are not black.

PsEUDOSPHEX COGNATA.

Mas. Flava; vertex niger ; antenne fulve ; thorax fascia antica

_ wittisque quingue nigris ; abdomen supra luteum, segmentorum

margintbus posticis albidis nigro fascratis ; pedes testacet ; ale
subluride, antice apice nigra.

Male. Yellow. Vertex black. Antenne tawny. Thorax
with a black band in front, and with five black stripes, the middle
one broad and irregular. Abdomen luteous above, with a whitish
tinge, and a black band on the hind border of each segment. Legs
testaceous. Wings with a slight lurid tinge; tips of the fore wings ©
and veins black. Length of the body 43 lines; of the wings 11
lines.

The characteristics of this species are its tawny antenne, ‘its
want of the abdominal dorsal stripe which distinguishes P. Zethus,
the less black at the tips of the fore wings, the greater space between
the third and fourth inferior veins, and the more acutely angular
tip of the discal areolet.

The genera E'sthema, Heleona, Hyalurga, Cistidia, Dysphania,

cluded in this family. It is connected with the Melameride by
means of E'sthema and Hucyane, and has some affinities with the
Arctiide. It is composed of large species, which often have pale
dots on the head and on the thorax, and whose wings are ample and
frequently more less vitreous. © |
