PREEFA GE,

SARA A Ee

Tae subject of the 2nd volume of the Catalogue of Lepidoptera

Phalene is the family Arctiade, of which 1217 species belonging

to the subfamilies Moline and Lithosiane are here dealt with,

leaving the least specialized subfamilty—the <Arctiae—to be

classified in the 3rd volume.

I have to thank all those mentioned in the lst volume who, by

the loan of material, have again assisted Sir George Hampson in

the preparation of this volume; also Herr G. Semper, of Altona,

for the loan of species described by him in his Lepidoptera of the

Philippines ; Dr. J. F. M. Heylaerts, of Breda, for species described

from the Malayan subregion; Dr. A. J. Turner, of Brisbane, and

Oswald Lower, Esq., of Broken Hill, N.S. Wales, for species from

Australia. I have great pleasure in acknowledging the assistance

given to Sic George Hampson’s undertaking by the Secretary of

State for India, who has granted the use of all the blocks and

drawings made in preparing the volumes on Moths in the Fauna of |

India series ; this loan will materially lessen the cost of each volume

of the Catalogue.

CATALOGUE

LEPIDOPTERA PHALAN A.

Family ARCTIAD:.

Proboscis usually well developed, sometimes aborted ; palpi usually

short, sometimes long and porrect or upturned ; antenne ciliated or

bipectinate ; tibie with the spurs usually short or moderate. Fore

wing with vein 1a forming a fork with 16, le absent; 5 from

below angle of discocellulars or coincident with 4. Hind wing with

veins 1 a& b present, lc absent; 5 from below angle of discocellulars

or coincident with 4; 8 coincident with the upper margin of cell

to near or to well beyond middle, sometimes to beyond upper angle ;

frenulum present ; retinaculum almost always bar-shaped.

A family of Moths of small to large size derived from the

Noctuidee, from which they may be distinguished by vein 8 of the

hind wing being coincident with the upper margin of the cell from

base, instead of arising free and then more or less strongly anasto-

mosing with the cell. In some species of Auwtomolis vein 8 is

coincident with the cell to beyond the upper angle in the males,

whilst in some specimens of various species of Hucercon, near the

point of origin of the family Syntomide, vein 8 is sometimes absent,

or partially aborted, or replaced by two or three spurs between the

cell and costa.

The family is divided into three subfamilies, the Nolinw, Litho-

siane, and Arctiane ; the first two have the ocelli absent, the Noline

having tufts of raised scales in the cell of fore wing at base, middle,

and extremity, whilst in the lowest subfamily, the Arctiane, the

ocelli are present, as in their ancestors among the Noctuidae.

The larvee of the Arctiade have a similar arrangement of the

warts and tuits of hair to that described and figured in the Syntomide,

Vol. I. p. 22; but in the subfamily NVoline the Ist pair of prolegs

on somite 6 are absent: they usually feed exposed, forming a cocoon

VOL. I. B

2 ARCTIAD A.

of silk and hair, the pupa also being similar to that of the Syntomide.

Three groups of genera have usually been placed in the Arctrade

which should have been referred to other families—WNyctemera and

its allies in the Old World, and Pericopis and allies in the Neo-

tropical region, have vein 8 of the hind wing separate from the cell

and connected with it by a bar, and should be placed in the Hypside ;

whilst Sarrothripa and the allied genera, which have been asso-

ciated with the Noline, are better placed as a parallel development

in the Noctuide, having the ocelli present, vein 8 of the hind wing

free at extreme base, and the larve having the prolegs on somite 6

present; and thirdly, Harias, Halias, and allies should also be

placed in the Noctwidw, having the ocelli present and vein 8 arising

free.

Subfamily NOLIN.

Proboscis usually fully developed, sometimes aborted; palpi

porrect, sometimes oblique, the 2nd joint roughly scaled above and

below; maxillary palpi minute, invisible, in Archinola large and

triangularly scaled ; frons and basal joint of antennee usually with

tufts of scales; tibiee with the spurs long. Fore wing with tufts of

raised scales in cell, near base, at middle and at upper angle. Hind

wing with vein 8 coincident with the cell to near or beyond middle.

Fig. 1.—Larya of Celama internella. }.

Larva with tufts of hair; without prolegs on somite 6; forming

a hoat-shaped cocoon of silk and fragments of bark on a twig of

NOLIN 2. 3

food-plant; sometimes feeding in webs, whilst in Celama internella

the larva feeds in the interior of the young fleshy shoots of Rubus,

but has retained its bright coloration and tufts of hair and forms a

boat-shaped cocoon in the open, so that the habit of internal feeding

must be of very recent acquirement.

The Noline probably arose from a very early Arctian form which

had affinities in the Noctwide to Hypena and Sarrothripa, both of

which have raised tufts of scales in the cell of fore wing—the former

having the prolegs on somite 6 of the larva absent as in many other

Noctuide, whilst the latter forms a boat-shaped cocoon exactly like

that of the Nolinw, and also has the bar-shaped retinaculum, both

of which characters occur in the group of Noctuid genera comprising

Earias, Halias, Carea, and allies.

Of the genera of Nolinw, Pexinola and Melaleucia represent

terminal developments from archaic forms, whilst Archinola with

large triangularly-sealed maxillary palpi, these being invisible in

the other genera, represents probably the form nearest to the

ancestor of the other recent genera, which are all closely allied.

of skins present. Full-grown larva snow-white, covered with a

down-like detachable substance with slight creamy tinge below ;

the hairs white, except five or six long black hairs- on thoracic

somites ; head buff marked with brown striw ; a dorsal black mark

on Ist somite, partly hidden by the tuft which after the last moult

bears five head-skins. The larva progresses with a jerky motion.

It forms a boat-shaped cocoon by biting off pieces of rotten wood

and bark and interlacing them with the long hairs which are left

projecting; before fastening down the flap of cocoon it rubs its

head against it for a long time, and with much difficulty detaches

the tuft and head-skins and attaches them to the side of cocoon.

Subfamily LITHOSIAN A.

Proboscis usually well developed, but often aborted ; palpi

usually short and porrect, sometimes reaching well beyond the

frons, often upturned, rarely reaching above vertex of head; antennze

of male usuully with bristles and cilia, often bipectinate, sometimes

dilated or with tuft of scales on upperside of shaft; ocelli absent ;

tibize with the spurs usually moderate, sometimes long or absent.

Fore wing typically long and narrow, butin a large section short and

broad, the narrow-winged genera having vein 5, and often vein 4,

absent. Hind wing with vein 8 coincident with the cell from base

to one-third or to near end of cell.

The more generalized forms of Lithosiane have a very slightly

moditied venation in the fore wing; in Diduga all the veins arising

from the cell except 7, 8; and the subfamily probably has its

origin in an early Aretid form which was related to Acontia and its

allies in the Noctwide.

The normal evolution of the venation seems to have been that 7,

8 and 9, 10 should become stalked, that 9 should then anastomose

with 8 to form an areole, which in most of the genera has dis-

appeared by reduction, leaving vein 9 stalked with 7, 8; in the

genus Jlema especially the areole being often either present or

absent in different specimens of the same species.

The genus Benasa presents in the male a most extraordinary

modification of the hind wing, which is probably unique in the

Lepidoptera, the whole wing being reduced to a minute lobe below

the base of the fore wing, except the inner area, which is largely

developed, appearing at first sight ke a normal hind wing, but in

reality rotated at base, the upperside becoming the functional

underside and the inner margin the functional costa. ;

The Lithosiane as a group present great variety of s ructure as

Fig. 25.—Larva of Philagria entella. }. (From Moths Ind. vol. ii.)

regards both venation and secondary sexual characters, so that the

genera and sections of genera are very numerous.

Some of the most generalized forms seem to be Hemonia, T'ro-

pacme, and the genera allied to Nudaria; whilst another gene-

ralized form Castulo, with veins 7, 8 and 9, 10 stalked, seems
