PREFACE,

As the whole scheme and scope of the work of which the present

volume is the first instalment is fully explained in the Introduction,

very little is required from me by way of preface.

It may be easily understood that the publication of a monograph

of a group like the Lepidoptera Phalene, containing such an

enormous number of species, already known, or likely to be dis-

covered during the progress of the work, is an undertaking of very

considerable magnitude, but it is one which, if successfully accom-

plished, will be of proportionate value to the systematic zoologist.

The Trustees of the British Museum believe that the work has

been undertaken under conditions which are as favourable as

possible. The author, Sir George Hampson, has already shown, in

his ‘Handbook of the Moths of British India, his capacity for

treating the subject in a manner likely to produce confidence in

his methods; he has under his hands in the Museum a collection

already of exceptional richness, and rapidly increasing, and, what

is of the greatest importance, he is in friendly relations with all

the other workers at the group in various parts of the world.

The strict regulation of the British Museum which does not

allow of unique specimens being under any circumstances sent

away from the establishment, though on the whole salutary as

regards the preservation and ultimate accessibility of type specimens,

has undoubtedly its disadvantages in relation to the interchange otf

facilities for examination ; but it is gratifying to be able to report

to how great an extent these disadvantages have been overcome,

thanks to the courtesy of so many entomologists which it is now my

privilege to acknowledge.

Owing to the kind way in which everyone appealed to has

responded to the request for assistance, and the great amount of

trouble they have been willing to take in forwarding material

from their collections required for examination, a very large propor-

tion of types of the species described have been examined whilst

preparing the volume, as will be seen by looking through the text.

vi PREFACE.

The British Museum Collection is now very rich in species of

Syntomide, a large number of them having been added during the

past year, notably the Godman-Salvin Collection, from Central

America, of this and other families, which has now been handed

over to the Museum. The whole of the species of Syntomide in

Dr. Staudinger’s magnificent collection have been submitted for

eXamination, and an opportunity of acquiring specimens of most of

the species has been afforded us.

From the Neotropical region Mr. W. Schaus has presented many

species and submitted all his types; whilst Mr, Herbert Druce and

M. Paul Dognin of Paris have lent all their types for examination

and description, as also has Prof. Poulton the types described by

F. Walker which are in the Oxford Museum.

From the -Ethiopian region Dr, W. J. Holland, D.D., of Penn-

sylvania, has lent all the types described by him from W. Africa,

and presented co-types of many of them to the Museum ; and from

s. Africa the collections of Mr, G. A. k. Marshall and Miss F,

Barrett have provided specimens of most of the species oceurring in

that subregion; whilst Prof. Aurivillius, of Stockholm, has lent the

types described by Wallengren, M. Paul Mabille has submitted the

types of species described by him from Africa and Madagascar, and

Dr. H. Lenz of Liibeck and Dr. yon Heyden of Frankfort those

described by Saalmuller.

From the Oriental region the collections of Mr. J. H. Leech,

from Japan and China, have been examined, also those of Mr. H.

J. Elwes from India, and specimens of many of them have been

presented by the latter, as well as of many species collected by Mr. W.

Doherty in the Malayan subregion. The Curator of the Devon and

Exeter Muscum has sent the few species described by F. Walker

the types of which are in that Museum, and Dr, R, Gestro, of

Genoa, the species collected by Fea in Burma, From various parts

of the Malayan subregion we have received large collections made

by Mr. Doherty, Herr P. C. T. Snellen has lent the types of his

species, Herr Frihstorfer of Berlin has presented specimens of the

species taken by himself in Java and Celebes, as well as many from

Brazil, and Herr F. Rober, of Dresden, has lent or presented

specimens of the Malayan species described by himself.

From the Australian region, Mr. E, Meyrick has lent us the

types of his species from New Guinea and Australia which are in

his collection, and the Trustees of the Macleay Museum others

which are at Sydney.

PREFACE, vil

Lastly the Hon. Walter Rothschild has lent all the types described

by Felder in the ‘ Reise Novara’ which are in his immense collec-

tion, and has placed all the rest of his material at our disposal for

examination.

Prof. Harrison G. Dyar, of the United States National Museum.

Washington, and Dr. T. A. C. Chapman, have very kindly looked over

the parts of the Introduction relating to the early stages of the

Lepidoptera, of which they have made a special study, and have

made many suggestions and corrections which have been of the

greatest possible value.

Dr. A. G. Butler has given the author the advantage of his

assistance in revising the proof-sheets.

As the coloured illustrations of new or hitherto inadequately

figured species, though of the greatest value to the progress

of zoology, are not essential to the plan of the work, and if in-

corporated would have added greatly to its cost, it has been

thought best to issue them separately, and to produce the text

alone at a price which may make it readily accessible to all

working entomologists.

LEPIDOPTERA PHALAN &

INTRODUCTION.

Tux Lepidoptera, consisting of the Butterflies, Papiliones, and Moths,

Phalene, to revert to the original terms given to them by Linneus *,

are for the most part easily distinguished from all other insects

by :—(1) The maxilie being channelled and conjoined to form a

tubular proboscis, which, however, is often more of less aborted or

entirely absent in such groups as the Hepialide, Psychide, Satur-

nade, and some Sesiadw, Pyralide, ete. (2) By the mandibles

being obsolete, except in the ancestral family Micropterygide,

where in the genus Hiiocephala they are functionally active. (3) By

the very largely developed clypeus or frons forming the whole front

of the head. (4) By the broad, regularly veined wings clothed with

minute scales which are modified hairs, all the gradations between

the extreme forms of hairs and scales being often observable in the

same insect : some Lepidoptera, however, appear to be hyaline and

devoid of scales, either by the scales falling off after development

or by being so reduced in size as to become microscopic; whilst

the females of Psychidw and some Lymantriade, Geometridae, and

Tineide have the wings more or less aborted.

The Lepidoptera, after leaving the egg, pass through three well-

defined stages of development and changes in structure and habit—

(1) The larva, whose function is growth; (2) the pupa, whose

function is maturation; and (3) the imago, whose function is

reproduction *.

* Strictly speaking, the Pha/ene are the Phalene of Linnezus plus his

Sphinges.

millan, 1895.

VOL. I. B

INTRODUCTION,

Tar Oven.

The ovum or egg is more or less globular, usually with a sculp-

tured surface ; the colour changing considerably during the process

of development. There are two types of egg found in the Lepi-

doptera * :—(1) The upright egg with the micropyle at the top,

found inthe Syntomide, Arctiade, Noctuidae, Lumantriada, Hypside,

Notodontidy, Cossida, Castniade, and probably the small families

derived from them, and in the Papiliones, (2) The flat egy with the

micropyle at one end, to which group all the other families belong,

The groups with upright eggs arose from the ancestral flat-egg

forms at several different points, and it will be noticed in the

phylogeny of tho families that the only family with upright eggs

placed as giving rise to families with flat eggs is the Vetodontide,

[t is, however, from ancestors of the present forms that the families

were derived, and probably the Notodontider either still include

among their lower forms, or did so prior to the origin of the

Oymatophorula and Sphingider, forms with flat eggs that would

still come within the definition of the family.

Tue Larva.

The larvie of Lepidoptera are essentially phytophagous, but in the

family Pyralide an Australian Gallerid eats its way into and preys

upon the larvee of one of the large green species of Hepialus, and

several species of Phycids and Noctuids of the genus Lublemma live

on Coccids, a Lycwnid on Aphids, and some 7'neid@ on such sub-

stances as hair and horn.

The larve are usually cylindrical and elongate, but shorter and

broader in the Lyconide, Zyganide, and Megalopyyide, most

modified in the Limacodidy. They consist of:—(1) A head fur-

nished with strongly developed mandibles, simple eyes, antennae

which are usually rudimentary but developed in /riocephala, and

usually have a spinneret below the mouth, from which silk is

produced. (2) Thirteen somites, occasionally divided by transverse

furrows into two to eight annulets: of these, three are thoracic,

each bearing a pair of jointed corneous legs, and the Ist somite

a lateral spiracle, and the other ten abdominal, the Ist eight witha

spiracle, the last two without spiracles and almost completely fused,

usually scarcely separable in the higher families. Somites 6-9 and

13 bear the paired sucker-like prolegs, furnished, except in a few

cases, at extremity with minute hooks, which form a complete circle

in the generalized forms with incomplete pups, and are present on

outer side only in the more specialized Ohbtecte. In certain families,

as in nearly all Geometridae, many Noctuidae and Noline, some of

the prolegs are absent; in the Megalopyyide they coexist with a

series of sucker-like pads on somites 5-10, whilst in the Limacodide

they are replaced by sucker-like structures on somites 4-11. In

the ancestral Hriocephalat there are eight pairs of prolegs, and

THE LARVA AND COCOON. iD

a ventral trefoil-shaped sucker on the 9th and 10th abdominal

somites. Micropteryx and some other specialized larvee are without

prolegs.

The larvee periodically cast their skins, the number of moults

varying from three to ten in different species, and also varying in

the samé species under different conditions.

The somites bear series of tubercles *, from which single hairs

or tufts of hair arise: occasionally these are very small and incon-

spicuous, or they may be obscured by a general coating of hair

spread all over the body ; usually they are distinct and of a definite

number. On somite 1 rise hairs from either half of the cervical

shield, a prespiracular tubercle with three hairs, and a subspiracular

tubercle with one or two hairs: on somites 2 and 3 a subdorsal

tubercle, 1, with two hairs; ii with ten hairs, often separated ;

ill, iv, & v in line on the side, iv and v being conjoined; vi sub-

spiracular, with one or two hairs: on the abdomen i, ii, iii are

above the spiracle, iv & v near or below it, vi above the leg, vii on

base of leg with three hairs and forming the leg-shield, vili on

the inside of the leg. On the conjoined 12th and 13th somites the

tubercles are somewhat reduced.

In the first stage the tubercles are in a generalized condition—

tubercles 11 & iv of thorax and vi of abdomen being absent; these

tubercles, therefore, are not primary ones,.and they are not developed

in any stage of the Papiliones, Saturniade, or Sphingide, or in

certain specialized leaf-mining Tincide. In the divergent Hepialide

they are represented by a different set of subprimary tubercles.

In some cases the primitive first stage is absent, and the tubercles

are alike in all the stages. The position of the several tubercles

varies a little in different families, the change being most marked in

the position of tubercle iv of abdomen, which is separate from v,

but in line with it in the lowest larve, and moved up behind the

spiracle in the NVoctuide, ete. In the higher Tineidew and Pyralide

it becomes joined to v, and in the Sphingidw v is moved up in front

of the spiracle. .

The tubercles may be hypertrophied into horn-like structures

and the hairs variously modified, such as the stinging spines of the

Inmacodide and the club-shaped appendages of Hriocephala.

Tur Cocoon.

The larva when full-fed forms, for its own protection during the

helpless pupa stage, a cocoon composed usually of silk mixed with

its own hair, portions of the food-plant, feces, earth, or similar

substances ; in some Syntomide and Arctiade of hair only without

silk; or, in the ease of the carnivorous forms, of the skins of its

victims,

In some of the more specialized families, however, no cocoon 1s

formed, the pupa being suspended by silk from the extremity of the

abdomen, or supported in an upright attitude by a cremaster o

silken cable passed round it and attached to contiguous objects, as

in various groups of Papiliones; or, in many Noctuid, Ceratocampida,

_ete., simply buried in the earth.

Tue Pura.

Having formed its cocoon, the larva turns to a pupa, during

which stage in some Diptera almost the whole of the tissues of the

body undergo degeneration into a liquid fatty substance within the

outer cuticle, except the nerve centres and some bodies attached to

them known as the “imaginal disks,” which are the rudiments

of the future body, wings, and legs, and which by absorption of the

products of the degenerated tissues gradually grow and build up

the imago till ready to emerge from the pupa skin. In the Lepi-

doptera, however, this process is not carried nearly so far; the

dorsal vessel and its muscles, some skin muscles, the tracheal system,

and the alimentary canal of the larvie are persistent, and the mouth-

parts, antennie, and legs of the imago are modified and developed

from those of the larvw: the process, in fact, resolving itself into

the imaginal structures not present in the larve being developed

from disks, whilst the larval structures not present in the imago

undergo degeneration.

The various parts of the pupal skin are all soldered together

and immovable, except certain of the abdominal somites, but the

head with the cases for the proboscis and antennw, the thorax with

the wing- and leg-cases, and the abdominal somites can be easily

distinguished,

EMERGENCE FROM Cocoon,

In the orders of insects of which the imagines are provided with

jaws, these are used to help them to force their way through the

cocoon, and Eriocephala being provided with functional jaws pro-

bably uses them for the same purpose. The evolution of the

haustellate Lepidoptera resolves itself into the solution in various

ways of the problem of freeing themselves from the cocoon without

jaws *. In this respect the families fall into two main divisions tT :—

(1) The Jncompletr, with the 7th abdominal segment free in the

male, fixed in the female, the moth emerging from the cocoon

clothed in the effete pupal skin; of these Mieroptery.x t uses the

jaws of the pupal skin to rupture the cocoon and to pass through

it and overlying earth, motion being induced in them by vermicular

movements of the pupa. In all other Lepidoptera the pupal jaws

are functionally obsolete, accompanied by considerable consolidation

of the previously movable parts, and a roughening of the dorsum

THE IMAGO, a

of the abdomen. In the Limacodide the abdominal segments are

all free, and the cocoon is provided with an easily movable lid.

In Adela and its allies the pupa is furnished with a beak, which the

moth uses to emerge from its cocoon which is formed of a valved

larval case. In these lower forms the cremaster or silken girdle

round the pupa is rare, and it seems to be used to restrain the

effete pupal case when far enough through the cocoon, which is

effected in most cases by the elastic cocoon firmly holding the pupal

skin.

(2) The Obtecte, comprising all the higher forms, with the 5th

and 6th abdominal segments free and the moth emerging from the

cocoon, leaving the pupal skin retained within it by the cremaster ;

the only intermediate case between the two groups which is known

being Epermenia, which, though it has an incomplete pupa, leaves

it within the cocoon on dehiscence.

Among the Obtectw there are many devices for breaking through

the cocoon, such as specially constructed weak places in the cocoon;

a softening fluid appled by the mouth assisted by special appliances,

such as the corneous frontal process of some Pyralide and Noctuidae,

etc., the spines at end of fore tibiv of many Noctuidae, the shoulder-

spines of Adtacus, etc. In the Papiliones, which have dispensed

entirely with the cocoon, certain genera in each family have lost

the power of movement in one or both segments of the abdomen

that are free in the rest of the Obtectw; and the number and position

of the free segments in the different groups of Lepidoptera seem to

be simply correlated with the problem of most effective leverage for

the various methods of emergence from the cocoon, the power of

movement, however, in any segment being never reacquired when

once lost.

Tue Inaco.

The imago or perfect insect emerges from the cocoon with its

wings in a dwarfed and crumpled condition; they, however, rapidly

expand and dry, the muscles being usually stimulated by vibration

in the air, probably as a help to the circulation and oxygenisation

of the blood-plasma.

A Lepidopterous insect consists of (1) the head, (2) the thorax,

and (3) the abdomen. The head consists of three pieces: the

occiput, lying behind the ocelli; the epicranium behind the antenne,

bearing the ocelli or simple eyes, which, however, are often absent,

and the large compound eyes made up of a large number of simple

lenses ; thirdly the clypeus or frons, occupying the whole front of

the head, with the triangular mandibulate areas at each side.

The labrum is very minute and concealed by the clypeus, its lateral

processes, called piliger, being visible and a triangular medial part,

which may, however, be the epipharynx; the labium is small,

short, and triangular; the mentum nearly obsolete ; the lingua is

obsolete, its place being supplied by the maxillee, which form a long,

grooved proboscis.

In Eriocephala functional toothed mandibles are present, in

6 INTRODUCTION.

Micropteryx they are non-denticulate and functionless, and in the

higher forms rudimentary. In Lriocephala the free palpi and

typical ligula of the mandibulate insects are present, the ligula

being formed by the fusion of the inner palps into a short tubule

open externally, a short hypopharynx being present on its inner

wall.

The maxillary palpi, obsolete in some species, are from 1- to

the largest number of joints, six; in the Tineide and Tortricidae

the number is very variable; in the Pyralide four; in the Noctuidae

generally two, but sometimes three; in the more specialized families

one or two; and in the Papiliones, Sphingida, and most Geometrider

Pyralide and Zyqenide they are less conspicuous, and in the

more specialized Odtecte wanting fT.

The labial palpi are normally well developed and ‘-jointed, but

aborted or much reduced in the Hepialide, Psychida, and many

ments, but their function beyond that of protecting and cleaning

the proboscis is unknown.

of joints and varying much in length and structure; they are

but usually (1) ciliated, (2) with paired bristles at each joint,

(3) with both cilia and bristles, (4) fasciculate, (5) dentate,

(6) lamellate, (7) serrate, or (8) pectinate with single or paired

branches, rarely with two pairs of branches to each joint; they

may also be pubescent all over, or have long scales on the upper-

side, or be furnished with special secondary sexual characters, such

as notches, thickenings, sinuations, or tufts of scales.

Fig. 2.—Antennx of Moths. (From Moths of India, vol. 1.)

The thorax consists of three segments—the prothorax, bearing the

tegule or collar-lappets, the patagia or shoulder-lappets, and the

fore legs; the mesothorax, bearing the mid legs and fore wings ;

and the metathorax, the hind legs and hind wings.

The abdomen consists of nine segments, the terminal segments

being often much modified and little recognizable ; at its base are a

lateral pair of large tracheal stigmata, those on the other segments

being small, and at its extremity the anal tuft covering the orifice

within which are concealed the genital organs, consisting in the

male of paired lateral claspers and a medial curved upper process—

the uncus; these vary extremely in form in closely allied species,

with the object probably of preventing hybridization ; they are often

useful, and generally reliable as a point of distinction between

closely allied species, but have been insufficiently studied in most

groups of Lepidoptera; they are often accompanied by a scent-

producing genital tuft. -

The legs consist of (1) coxa, (2) trochanter, (3) femur, (4) tibia,

(5) the 5-jointed tarsus bearing the ungues and pulvillus. The

fore tibia have a medial spine-like process, which in many Psychide

is long and arises from the femoro-tibial joint; the mid tibie are

8 INTRODUCTION,

usually provided with a terminal pair of spurs, and the hind tibie

with medial and terminal pairs; the tarsi usually, and the tibie

often, are more or less spinous, and the fore tibise sometimes bear a

curved terminal hook; in the male the mid or hind tibia often

have a scent-brush contained in a groove.

The wings consist of two closely applied laminw of membrane

covered with scales or hairs which have their bases inserted in a

series of pits and overlap one another like tiles. The membrane is

traversed by a series of veins, which are tubular blood-vessels

containing nerves and trachew.

The fore wing typically has 12 veins—the internal nervure with

three branches (1 a, /, c), la being short and often forming a fork

at the base of 1 4, and 1 ¢ usually obsolete; the median nervure

with its two branches (2,3); the radial nervure with three branches

(4, 5,6); the subcostal nervure with five branches (7, 8, 9, 10,11);

and the costal nervure (12) *.

The hind wing has twelve veins, as in the fore wing, in the

Micropterygide and Hepialide, the extra veins being numbered

7 a, b, ec, d: in all the other families typically eight veins, the

difference from the fore wing consisting in the absence of four of

the subcostals, but one of them is probably represented by the bar

between veins 7 and 8 found in the Lymantriade, Sphingida,

Eupterotide, etc. +: almost any of the veins may be either aborted

or coincident with other veins. Beside the true veins, cross veins

costa or vein | and inner margin may be present. The present

form of neuration arose from a system of simple longitudinal veins,

which by the union of their basal portions formed the present

branching system ; thus the discocellulars which close the cell of

each wing were formed by the junction of the basal portions of the

three radial veins, the basal stem being then aborted, leaving only

an outwardly-directed trifid fork of which the radials are the

extremities. The whole process in its various stages may be clearly

seen in such generalized forms as the Cossida, Psychide, and

Zygenide ; and the neuration of the extinct ancestor of the Lepido-

ptera must have consisted of at least fifteen simple longitudinal

veins in each wing, and probably more, as in several groups vein 16

of the hind wing is forked at base. Vein 4, the lowest radial, has

become permanently connected with the two-branched median

nervure *, and vein 6, almost without exception, with the five-

branched subcostal nervure ; but the position of vein 5 differs much

in the several groups of families, according to whether it retains its

original medial position or is attracted towards the median or

subcostal systems.

The fore and hind wings in the majority of families of Moths

are connected by the “ frenulum ” developed from hairs arising from

the base of the costa of hind wing and fitting into the * retinaculum ”

on the fore wing, which consists of a fold from the underside of the

costa, a membranous hook, or tuft of hair arising from the costal

nervure, or a tuft of hair arising from the median nervure or rarely

from the wing-membrane below it. The form of the frenulum is

of great use in determining sex, as in the males of all the forms

that possess it, it consists of hairs firmly soldered together so as to

form a single bristle, articulating with the retinaculum arising from

the costal nervure, whilst in the female it consists of three or more

bristles (in a Cossid I have found as many as nine) articulating

with the retinaculum arising from the median nervure. In the

Pyralid subfamily Phycitine and a few other forms the frenulum is

single in both sexes. In the two most generalized families, the

Micropterygide and Hepialide, the wings are not connected in any

way ; the others all have the frenulum developed, or in some groups,

such as the Papiliones, Arbelide, Lasiocampide, Bombyc ide, Saturn-

iad, and some genera of families ‘that usually possess it, it has become

aborted and its ‘function i is assumed by an expansicn of the base of

the costa of the hind wing.

The margins of the wing are termed (1) the fore margin or costa

with the apex at its extremity, (2) the outer margin or termen with

the tornus or outer angle at its junction with (3) “the i inner or dorsal

margin; the termen and the terminal part of inner margin are

fringed with elongate scales or cilia.

PHYLOGENY OF THE LEPIDOPTERA.

During the evolution of more or less specialized forms from the

most generalized ones, their ancestors must have passed through

certain stages which can be interred with tolerable exactitude from

the study of existing forms. The present families and genera are

not of course derived from other existing ones, but from their

ancestors, and when a family or genus is said to be derived from

another all that is meant is that, in order to reach their present

stage of specialization, their ancestors must have passed through a

stage which would in essential points of structure come within the

definition of the other family or genus.

The Lepidoptera are primarily divisible into two groups, the

lower consisting of the two generalized families JJicropterygide

and Hepialide, characterized by having 12 veins to the hind wing

as in the fore wing, a small Icbe at the base of the fore wing—the

so-called jugum—which is really the ‘alula’ found in many

Neuroptera, Hymenoptera, and Diptera, aud by the wings not being

articulated together in any way. Of these the more generalized

are the Micropterygide, very closely related to the Neuropterous

Trichoptera or caddis-flies, and distinguished by the great develop-

ment of the maxillary palpi and by having tibial spurs, both of

which are absent in the Hepialide which are “derived from them.

The other families constitute the /renate, with at most eight

veins to the hind wing and the wings ar ticulated with one another

by a frenulum and retinaculum, or, in forms in which these are

aborted, by an expansion of the costa of the hind wing.

Of the Frenate the most generalized groups of families have

vein 1 ¢ of the hind wing present and vein 8 free from the base or

connected with the cell by a bar, and of these the Tincide and

Tortricide, with at least one medial spur of hind tibie well

developed, come nearest to Micropteryx, from which they are

possibly directly developed.

From the Tineide are derived :—(1) The Sesiade, with vein 8 of

hind wing aborted; (2) the Orneodide and Pterophoride, with the

wings divided into plumes ; (3) the Pyralide, with vein 8 of hind

wing closely approximated to or anastomosing with 7 beyond the

cell, and vein 5 of fore wing from below middle of discocellulars,

giving rise to the Thyrididar, Drepanide, and Callidulide, with vein

le of hind wing absent; (4) the Zyyrnuide, with the spurs of hind

tibie small, the proboscis usually present, vein 8 of hind wing

connected with the cell by a bar, and usually retaining the primitive

vein | ¢ of fore wing.

From the Zyganide were developed :—(a) The Kuschemonide, with

clubbed antennw and without vein | ¢ of each wing, giving rise by

the abortion of the frenulum to the various families of Papiliones,

of which the Hesperiad are the most nearly related to them.

(b) The Castniade, also with clubbed antenne but retaining vein 1 ¢

of each wing and with vein 8 widely separated from the cell from

base, giving rise to the eocastniadr with vein | ¢ of both wings

and the proboscis aborted. (c) The Daleerider °. with the proboscis

aborted, from which arose the Limacodid with vein 8 of hind wing

anustomosing with the cell usually near the base but sometimes

beyond middle ; giving rise to the Weyalopyide with the mouth-

parts aborted and vein 8 of hind wing anastomosing with the

cell to middle or near extremity, the Perophoride with vein 8

of hind wing remote from the cell from base and le of fore

wing absent, their larve being case-dwellers, the Chrysopolomide

with the frenulum absent, vein | ¢ of both wings present, and

vein 6 of fore wing from below middle of cell, the Endromida

with the frenulum and vein le of both wings absent and 8 of

hind wings connected with the cell by a bar, from which sprang

the Lasiocampids, with vein s of hind wing connected with 7

by a bar or anastomosing with it. (7) The Cossida, with the tibial

spurs minute and the proboscis aborted, giving rise to the Ratardidat

with the trenulum ean and vein 6 of fore wing from below

angle of discocellulars, and the Aryyrotypidet with vein Le of

fore wing absent, from which sprung the Arbelide with the

frenulum also absent. (¢) The //eterogynide and Psychida, with

legless and wingless females and the proboscis aborted, the

latter with the females and larve case-dwellers.

In the Zygenide vein 5 of the fore wing often retains its primi-

tive medial position, whilst in all the families hitherto considered

as having arisen from it, it has more or less migrated towards the

median nervure; in the next group of families however (f) it

either retains its medial position or migrates towards the subcostal

nervure, and vein 1 ¢ of both wings is absent: of these the most

generalized are the Uruniade, with vein 8 of the hind wing diverging

widely from the cell from base and 7 of fore wing remote from 8, 9

and usually stalked with 6 ; in some of its genera the abortion of the

frenulum and development of the base of costa of hind wing can be

traced in all its stages: from them arose the Ceratocampide, with

the frenulum absent and vein 7 of fore wing connected with 8, 9,

giving rise to the Brahmeide with vein 8 of hind wing approximated

to 7, and the Bombycidw and Saturniade with the proboscis and

tibial spurs absent, the former having vein 8 of hind wing connected

with the cell.

From the Uvraniade arose also the Geometridae, with vein 8

approximated to or connected or anastomosing with the cell and

7 of fore wing stalked with 8, 9; vein 5 of the hind wing is fully

developed except in the subfamily Boarmiane, which has 8 connected

with the cell near base only, whilst in the Notodontide vein 5 is

always obsolescent and 8 connected with the cell at middle ; these

last giving rise to the Cymatophoridw and Sphingide, with vein 8

approximated to 7, the latter having also a bar between the cell

and vein 8 near the base, and to the Hupterotidw, with the proboscis

absent.

In the last group of families arising from the Notodontida,

vein 5 of the fore wing has migrated towards the median nervure ;

of these, the most primitive is the Hypsidew, retaining the bar

between vein 8 of hind wing and cell, giving rise to the Lyman-

‘triade, in which the proboscis is aborted, from which arose the

Pterothysanide, with the frenulum absent. From the Hypside

are derived also the Noctwide, with vein 8 anastomosing with the

cell near base, from which arose the Agavistide, with the antenne

dilated at extremity and day-flying or crepuscular habits, and the

Arctiade, with vein 8 anastomosing with the cell to middle, giving

rise to the Syntomide, with vein 8 aborted.

GEOGRAPHICAL DIsrtRipUTION oF THE LEPIDOPTERA.*

As far as the distribution of the Lepidoptera is concerned, the

Earth seems to be divisible into four main divisions only :—

(1) The Northern temperate region, with special Arctic develop-

ments in high mountain-chains and high latitudes, is characterized

chiefly by the great development of the subfamily Noctuine of the

Noctuwide, the Geometridw, Notodontide, Cymatophoride, Arctiada,

Lymantriade, and Zygenide ; its southern limits, exclusive of the

high mountain-chain running through Mexico, Central and South

America, and the scattered summits of the higher mountains of

the tropics of the Old World, are approximately the southern

boundary of the United States, exclusive of Florida, in Africa the

Sahara, and in Asia, Arabia, Persia, the arid parts of N.W. India

and the higher slopes of the Himalayas, its boundaries becoming

very ill-defined in China and 8. Japan.

(2) The Tropical zone of the Old World, characterized mainly by

a great development of the subfamily Plustane of the Noctuide, the

Agaristide, Syntonide, Uraniade, Eupterotide, Saturniade, Lima-

codide, and especially the Thyrididw and Pyralide, and among

Malayan subregion the Nemeohiane.

teristics as the tropics of the Old World, but with very distinet

genera; the immense deve lopment of the Syntomide and the

Pyralid subfamily Chrysaugine being especially marked, whilst the

Zyganida and the P yralid subfamilies Pyraline and Hndotrichine,

greatly developed in the tropics of the Old World, are alae

absent, among butterthes the Jthomiane, Heliconine, Brassoline,

Morphine, Ny “ycunde, and Lrsmorphina are largely developed, and

(4) The Australian region consists of (a) the te mperate part of

Australia and 'T: asmania, With some affinities to the extreme south

of Africa, characterized by a great development of the Geometrid

subfamily Monocteniane, the Tineid 1 subfamilies (Ecophorine and

Nyloryctine, and the Hepralida, it has also some ancestral forms of

Tur Scueme or tur Work.

The plan of the work is to begin with the most highly specialized

families, genera, and species, and gradually work down to the most

generalized forms ; the order of the families snd genera is that of

the Phylogenetic tables, beginning on the extreme ‘- ft and working

down to the junction with another branch, then beginning again at

its summit and working down to the same point, and so on, till the

most generalized forms at the bottom of the table are reached. The

arrangement of the species, however, is that of the synoptie tables

of the species, beginning with the more specialized sections of

genera founded on structural characters,

The references consist of one for each generic name, with its date

and the type on which it is founded, whether it is retained asa

genus or treated as a subgenus or synonym. The references to the

species consist of the original reference and one for each synonym,

with their dates, references to the best figure of the species and to

such faunistic works and Catalogues as are in most general use, and

references to the best descriptions and figures of the early stages,

which are placed after the description of the imago.

Each genus and all the more important sections of genera are

illustrated by process-blocks in the text, showing the facies of the

species and all its more important structural characters, and all

species that have not been satisfactorily figured in other works will

appear in the coloured plates, which will be published separately in

Family SYNTOMID..

Proboscis usually well developed, but sometimes aborted ; palpi

short and porrect, long and downcurved, or upturned; frons

rounded; antenne simple, ciliated, or bipectinate, usually with

short branches dilated at extremity in both sexes; tibia with the

spurs short. Fore wing usually with the terminal area broad ;

vein la forming a fork with 14, le absent; 5 from below middle of

discocellulars ; 7 stalked with 8,9. Hind wing small; vein la often

absent; le absent; & absent, rarely rudimentary and not reaching

costa; frenulum present; retinaculum bar-shaped.

A family of Moths of small or medium size and semi-diurnal habits

derived from the Arctiade, but usually with the facies of the

Zyyanide, from some of which, with vein 6 of the hind wing

absent, they are not very easily distinguishable at first sight; but

these latter have vein 8 of the hind wing usually more or less

separate from the cell and connected with it by a bar, and in the

fore wings vein le present and 7 from the cell.

From the Arctiade they are to be distinguished by vein 8 of the

hind wing being absent, but in NXunthopleura, Anaphlehia, many

species of Eucereon, and a few other genera, it is present as an

aborted fragment vot reaching the costa; whilst in certain species

of the genus Halisiddota, which is best placed in the Arctiade, many

specimens have vein 8 rudimentary or sometimes entirely absent,

and a few have it represented by two or even three rudimentary

spurs from the upper margin of cell, so that no very exact line can

be drawn between the two families.

* In the Zygernid subfamily Phaudine the mouth-parts are aborted,

SYNTOMID®. yA

A few other genera of Arctiade, Automolis and its allies, appear

to sometimes have vein 8 of the hind wing absent, but this is really

due to veins 6, 7 being coincident and 8 stalked with them or from

angle of cell, all the gradations of this form being traceable; these

can be distinguished by the coincident veins 6, 7 being given off

from the upper angle of cell with a slight upward turn, whilst

vein 6 when separate is given off with a downward turn.

The most generalized genus in the family, and most nearly allied

to the Arctiade, is probably Hyaleuccrea, with the palpi upturned,

fore wing with veins 4, 5, and 10 from the cell; hind wing with

vein 8 rudimentary, vein 7 present, 5 from near angle of cell, and

2 from well before angle. From this have developed, among New-

World forms :—

(1) Genera with rostriform palpi, such as Sczpsis; a group with

vein 5 of hind wing stalked with 4, such as Huagra, or with

veins 4, 5 of fore wing stalked, such as Lymire; a group

with lateral tufts on the abdomen, such as Didasys, with

tufts of scales on medial part of antenne as in Dinia, or

with the 2nd segment of abdomen constricted as in

Trichura; forms with vein 4 of hind wing absent as in

Sesiura, or both 3 and 4 absent as Desmidocnemis, or vein 4+

of fore wing absent as Syntrichuru.

(2) Genera with vein 2 of hind wing from angle of cell, vein 5

being present, such as Amycles.

(3) A main division with vein 5 of hind wing obsolescent from

middle of discocellulars, of which the most primitive is

Autochloris with vein 2 from long before angle of cell,

whilst nearly all the genera have it from the angle, of

these Lvylasia has vein 3 stalked with 4, but nearly all

the others have it stalked or coincident with 2, Macero-

cneme and Pseudomya having the hind tarsi tufted with

scales, Lovophlebia with vein 5 of fore wing from well above

angle of cell; a group of genera being clothed with rough

hair, such as Surosa ; another group with the medial part

of shaft of antenns thickened, such as J/santhrene and

Euchromia, which is the only Old-World genus with

affinities to the Neotropical forms; a group with the 2nd

segment of abdomen constricted and closely ‘* mimicking ”

Hymenoptera, such as Pseudosphex; and a group with

tufts of scales on terminal segments of abdomen, such as

Mallodeta.

(4) Among the Old-World forms which are developed from an

Arctoid form low down in the family, Psewdapiconoma has

vein 7 of hind wing obsolescent from angle of cell, and

Hyalethea has it on a long stalk with 6; all the other

genera have veins 6, 7 coincident, among which the

Dysauxes group have vein 4 of hind wing present, the

Syntomis group have it absent, and the Cery« group have

both 3 and 4 absent.
