PREFACE.
In the present volume the two remaining subfamilies of the Noctuide, the Focilline and Deltoidine, are described. The latter consists of slenderly built, semidiurnal, grass-frequenting forms which show far greater diversity of structure in both generic and secondary sexual characters than the other groups of the Noctuwide. It exhibits a gradual development from forms with straight palpi fringed with hair above, such as Hypena, which is closely allied to the Sarrothripiné and to the ancestors of the Noctuide and Noline, through forms with oblique palpi, to a group possessing palpi of an extremely curved sickle-shaped type: from this group arose the stouter built more typically Noctuiform and nocturnal Focilline and Quadrifine.
The Epicopide, Uranude, Epiplemide, and Geometride belong to the group of families in which vein 5 of the fore wing arises from the middle of the discocellulars. The first three are closely allied and might perhaps be regarded as subdivisions of one family, the Uraniide, which is most nearly related to the Bombycide and Saturnide, some early form of the same stock having also given rise to the Geometride and Notodontide.
In the Geometride Mr. Meyrick’s excellent division into subfamilies has been followed, and his classification will almost certainly remain as the basis of any future work on the subject. His definitions of the Kuropean genera also are found to hold to a great extent for Indian forms, but least so in the Boarmiine, which is far the most difficult subfamily to classify, owing to the great diversity of structure that is found in closely allied forms and to a large amount of individual variation. It will require a considerably extended study, embracing the forms of all the zoological regions, before a really permanent classification can be arrived at.
The Orthostiwinme and Cinochromine contain the most primitive forms in the family ; the former has vein 8 of the hind wing connected with the cell by a bar near the base, the remains of one of the lost subcostals. Fromthe Orthostixine
have arisen (1) the Acidaliine and Geometrine, by vein 8 of a2

the hind wing becoming widely separated from the cell except near the base; (2) the Larentiine, by the bar migrating to near the end of the cell, or by vein 8 anastomosing with the cell to near its end; (8) the Boarmine, by vein 5 of the hind wing becoming aborted, vein 8 being free or retaining the bar in the lowest forms, such as Abrazxas and its allies.
In the original scheme of the work it was estimated that it would be possible to include most of the subfamilies of the Pyralide within the limits of the third volume, but the great activity that has prevailed among students of Indian Moths and the large number of species that have been described during the four years that the volumes have been in preparation have made this impossible. The publication, however, of M. Ragonot’s first volume on the Phycitine, a eroup of Moths that, owing to the ravages committed by many of the species among forest-trees, corn, cotton, tobacco, &c., is of more economic importance than any other, except perhaps the silk-producing Bombycide and Saturniide, and the approaching completion of his second volume, which will include the Gallertine, have made it possible to study the subject as a whole. Thus the postponement of the Pyralide is hardly to be regretted if at some future time a fourth volume is sanctioned containing the whole of that family and also an Appendix bringing the rest of the work up to date. This would complete the subject down to the fareilies for which Lord Walsingham has the whole of the material in course of preparation for publication.
I have to thank Dr. O. Staudinger for his courtesy in sending me the types of all the species described by Mr. Moore from the Atkinson Collection, of which no specimens exist in England, and for having thus enabled me to determine the affinities of many species I had otherwise no means of classi- fying. The whole of the gentlemen mentioned in the preface to my first volume have also continued their assistance in the freest and most generous manner. In addition Mr. G. C. Dudgeon has first placed at my disposal, and then presented to the British Museum, the results of his many years’ col- lecting in Sikhim and Bhutan; and, lastly, M. L. de Nicéville, the author of the invaluable volumes on the Butterflies of India, has sent me many new and rare species from Tenasserim.

+ Dated 1816; but it contains references to species of Ochsenheimer’s pub- lished in 1824, and no mention is made of it in a work of Hibner’s published in 1828, treating of systems that had appeared since his ‘Sammlung’; so the probable date is between 1824 and 1830. The genera erected are in no way described beyond vague references to the colours, and are excluded except where: properly characterized by later authors.

Family GEOMETRIDZ.
A large family of moths, almost always of slender build, and of semidiurnal or crepuscular habits, dominant at the present day. Proboscis present or rarely absent. Legs and tarsi slender, elongate, and naked, or slightly clothed with hair. Fore wing with vein | @ forming a fork with 1 6, 1 ¢ absent ; vein 5 from or from above middle of the discocellulars, 7 rising from 8,9*. Hind wing with the frenulum usually present, but absent in a few genera ;

vein la@ very short, apparently absent in some forms; vein 16 running to anal angle; 1c absent; 8 with a well-developed pre- costal spur.
Larve with the three anterior pairs of abdominal claspers totally aborted, and progressing by bringing the posterior somites close to the thoracic, looping the medial somites. In a few ancestral forms, of the subfamily @nochromine especially, there is a tendency to develop additional prolegs and to a more ordinary mode of pro- gression.

Subfamily BOARMIIN &.
Hind wing with vein 5 obsolete *, with no production of the outer margin at the termination of the fold that represents it, and veins 6 and 4 considerably approximated ; vein 8 free and running close along 7 to about middle of cell, very rarely anastomosing with it.
In this subfamily a fovea or pit of hyaline membrane on the underside of the fore wing at the base of vein 1, probably acting as a tympanum, is developed in very many species in the males, a character hardly found in any other group of Lepidoptera. Another very characteristic structure is the dilatation of the hind tibie in the male, with a fold containing a tuft of long hair acting as a scent-organ.

The typical form has the head, thorax, and abdomen fuscous and grey. Fore wing with the base grey-brown, with waved subbasal line ; a chestnut antemedial band angled below costa and edged by waved black lines ; the medial band broad and white, with two waved black lines on it, which enclose a black discocellular speck and form an annulus and figure-of-8-shaped mark below the cell, its outer edge oblique from the costa to vein 4, where it is doubly toothed, then inwardly-oblique and strongly toothed to inner margin; a dentate grey submarginal line, with chestnut between it and the marginal band. Hind wing pale fuscous brown ; underside with cell-speck and irregularly curved line.
The Himalayan form nearest to the typical European form is calanustrata, which differs in the abdomen and hind wing being white; cinereata has the whole base of fore wing rufous, the grey of the medial band extending over the whole outer area except the apex ~ and a chestnut submarginal spot on inner margin, the waved lines and edges to the band obsolescent; in another form the area between end of cell and outer angle is suffused with pale rufous.
Another set of forms are grey suffused in parts with fuscous, or with the medial band of fore wing clear grey.
The form immanata, of which typical specimens occur in the N.W. Himalayas, has the medial band dark; whilst another form has the fore wing uniform rufous, except for the four waved lines, which are whitish; and another form with the dark band has its white edges connected by a bar above vein 1.
Subapicaria is a dark form from Sikhim, usually with a prominent white patch on the costa of fore wing beyond the medial band; the hind wing black-brown; another form has the cell-spot on a large white patch extending to the costa, and the postmedial line white throughout: the form albiangulata has a red antemedial band; an oblique white bar from middle of costa to lower angle of cell; the postmedial line replaced by a white band angled outwards almost to the margin at vein 4 and acutely in- wards below vein 2, sending a tooth inwards below vein 6, and with a red maculate band, most prominent near costa, beyond it.
