PKEFACE.

The present volume, which is supplementary to Vol. III. of

Lepidoptera Phalsense, was in manuscript at the beginning

of 1915, and the text-figures and most of the Plates had

been prepared; but, owing to the European War, it was

decided to postpone its publication.

It has now been completed and brought up to date as far

a3 possible. For the reason just mentioned, however, no

references will be found in it to German publications which

have appeared since August 1914.

The Arctiidre in Vol. III. included 147 genera and 845

species, and to these are added in the present volume 25

genera and 1215 species.

The Agaristidse, for which the name Phalsenoididse is

substituted, included 53 genera and 225 species, and these

numbers are now increased by 7 genera and 80 species.

The term " subspecies " is occasionally made use of in

this volume simply to denote that our present knowledge of

the form referred to is insufficient to determine whether it

is a species or an aberrational variety.

Sir George Hampson has to acknowledge the great assis-

tance he has received from The Rt. Hon. Lord Rothschild,

F.R.S., Mr. J. J. Joicey, into whose hands the collection

VI PREFACE.

formed by the late Mr. Herbert Druco has passed, Dr.

Harrison G. Dyar, of the U.S. National Museum, Mr. W.

Sehaus, M. Paul Dognin, and many others.

The coloured drawings, which have been made for him

from types oE species which are not in the collection of the

British Museum and of which he has been unable to examine

specimens, have been reproduced and are severally acknow-

ledged in the text, and in this matter he has in especial to

thank Dr. L. 0. Howard, the Director of the U.S. National

Museum.

The Plates in connection with this volume are numbers

XLII.-LXXI. of the Supplement.

In the selection of the generic and family names employed

in this volume, the author has adhered to the views which he

adopted in all the previous volumes. Although some of his

views on nomenclature have been rejected by the great

majority of zoologists, it seems undesirable at this stage in

the preparation or the Catalogue to alter the system which

he has so far followed.
