PREFATORY NOTE

Wirs the present volume the first group of Indian Inver-
tebrata included in the present Series is completed. Of
the remaining Lepidoptera, the Butterflies are being fully
described elsewhere, whilst the Tineas, Tortrices, and a few
other lowly organized forms are not sufficiently known
for a general description to be practicable at present. The
magnitude of the work is shown by the fact that the four
volumes of Moths, with the Appendix to the last volume,
contain descriptions of 5618 species regarded as valid,
exclusive of races or subspecies.

The number of Indian Insects and other Invertebrata is
so large, and that of students and collectors of the majority
of the groups so small, that it is very difficult to deal with
most of the orders. I am therefore fortunate in being able
to announce that the next volume (to be published, it
is hoped, early in 1897) will commence the description of
the Hymenoptera, and contain the Bees and Wasps by
Col. C. T. Bingham.

PREFACE.

Tue Fourth Volume of the Moths in the ‘ Fauna of British
India’ deals with the subfamilies, genera, and species of
Indian Pyralide.

In the lowest subfamily, the Pyraustine, the least specia-
lized form is Simethistis tricolor, with vein 5 of each wing
from the middle of the discocellulars, all the subcostals of the
fore wing from the cell, vein 8 of the hind wing free, and
the palpi porrect with the 3rd joimt naked—a combination of
generalized characters which would almost allow this species
to be regarded as the ancestor of the whole family. Almost
all other Pyralide have veins 8 and 9 of the fore wing
stalked. From Simethistis the Pyraustine diverge in two
directions—firstly, to forms with porrect triangularly scaled
palpi, the 3rd joint concealed, from low down in which
series originated the Scopariine, with raised tufts of scales
on the fore wing; and, secondly, to forms with upturned
palpi, the 3rd joint long and acuminate. From the lower
Pyraustine, with porrect palpi and the 38rd joint naked,
arose also the other groups of Pyralide :—

The Hydrocampine with vein 10 of the fore wing stalked
with 8 and 9:

The Pyraline, with vein 7 stalked with 8 and 9, and vein 8
of the hind wing free; giving rise to (a) the Endotrichine,
with vein 8 of the hind wing anastomosing with 7, from
which arose the Chrysaugine, with the maxillary palpi
absent ; and (6) the Hpipaschiine, with raised tufts of scales
on the fore wing and vein 8 of the hind wing either free or
anastomosing with 7, giving rise to the Phycitine, with vein 7

vi PREFACE.

of the fore wing absent and the median nervure of the
hind wing pectinate above: from these again spring the
Anerastiine, with the proboscis absent :

The Schenobiine, with the proboscis absent :

And the Crambine, with the median nervure of the hind
wing pectinate above, and the maxillary palpi triangularly
dilated with scales; from this subfamily were developed the
Galleriine, with the maxillary palpi filiform or very slightly
dilated. (See Phylogeny, p. 1.)

The Appendix contains the additions made to the list of
Indian species since the volumes dealing with the families
to which they belong were published, and is complete up to
date, with the exception of a few species of Geometride and
Pyralide described by Mr. Warren, in the ‘ Annals and
Magazine of Natural History’ and the ‘ Novitates Zoologice,’
too late to be included: these will be dealt with in the first
of a series of supplementary papers which I hope to publish
annually in the Proceedings of one of the Scientific Societies,
so as to keep pace with the development of the subject.
There will also be found in the Appendix a number of
corrections which I have been enabled to make whilst.
working at the fresh material sent to me from time to time.
All criticisms published or made to me personally have
been carefully considered, and where acceptable the altera-
tions suggested are adopted. I have also corrected, where
necessary, the position assigned to species described by
Mr. Moore in the Atkinson collection, as, by the kindness
of Dr. Staudinger, I have had the opportunity of seeing
the types of the species with which I was unacquainted,
and there now remain but very few described Indian species
which I have not examined.

_ The publication of the present volume brings to a con-
clusion the whole of the original scheme for the work on
Indian Moths, with the addition of the Pyralid subfamilies
Galleriine, Crambine, Schenobiine, Anerastiine, and Phy-
citing, leaving only the Tortrices, Tineas, and Plumes for
future study.

PREFACE. vil

The Council of the Zoological Society have kindly allowed
me the use of figures 10, 11, and 18 to 33, which appeared in
a paper in the ‘ Proceedings’ for 1895 on the classification of
the Schenobiine and Crambine ; and the Council of the
Entomological Society have lent me figures 241, 243, 244,
248, 251, 2538, 254, 259, 262, 268, 270, 272, 274, 279, 282,
and 287, which appeared in their ‘Transactions’ for 1895.

I have again to thank all those who have so kindly
assisted me during the progress of the work—both the
Collectors in India, who have liberally supplied me with
specimens and information, and the owners of Collections in
England, who have put the whole of their material freely at
my disposal. The names of most of those who have aided
me have been mentioned in the prefaces to the other three
volumes, and I have also to express my thanks to Surg.-Col.
J.G. Pilcher in Sikhim and Mr. J. Pole in Ceylon, who
have sent to me valuable collections during the last two
years.

Larva. Uniform dark purplish brown; a few fine colourless
bristles scattered over the body; a well-marked lateral fold ; each
segment with one or more deep transverse furrows. Inhabits wart-
like exerescences in the stem and branches of Zrema orientalis,
forming galleries in the diseased wood, and pupating in slight
whitish cocoons. It is uncertain if the larve are the primary
cause of the excrescences, but the galleries, after being deserted by
the moths, usually contain colonies of the mealy bug Dactylopius
-adonidum, and these in their turn attract a species of ant which
buiids a covering over them, the foundation of large nests which
eradually increase in size and obstruct the growth of the tree (Green).

Prof. Wood-Mason described and figured as oryzalis the larva and
pupa of an aquatic species which is probably fluctuosalis. Larva
whitish ; the head with a few long hairs and five ocelli on each
side in a crescentic form; the somites with a few stiff sete and
with four longitudinal series of delicate white filaments acting as
tracheal gill-tufts, arranged in groups of two to four filaments,
two of the series being above the spiracles and two below. It is
very destructive to rice-crops in Burma.

Pupa fusiform and pale brown, with the stigmata of the three
first abdominal somites large and nipple-like and open to the air-
chamber of the cocoon.

APPENDIX,

Tuis Appendix contains additions and corrections to the whole
work, of which the present is the fourth volume. Species are
indicated by their serial numbers, these being continuous through-
out the four volumes: when a letter is added to a numeral, the
species thus marked follows that to which the number belongs.
Thus the place of 36a. Ocinara cyproba is immediately after 36.

Larva. Early stages: creamy buff with dorsal, subdorsal, and
sublateral series of small warts bearing tufts of long buff hairs ;
four pairs of prolegs, the 6th somite being without prolegs ; the
cast skins of the head are attached to a long tuft of hair projecting
forward from Ist somite, so that the number of moults can be
counted by the number of skins present.

The full-grown larva is 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 striz ; a dorsal black mark on 1st somite,
partly hidden by the head-bearing tuft which after the last moult
bears five head-skins. The larva progresses with a jerky motion ;
it forms a flap-like cocoon by biting off pieces of rotten wood and
bark and interlacing them with its long hairs which are left pro-
jecting ; before fastening down the flap 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 the cocoon.
