PREFACE. 



The object of the present Catalogue is to give a complete list of 

 aU the genera and species of Satyridao known to exist in the 

 cabinets of European and American entomologists. 



The localities given chiefly apply to the specimens in the Na- 

 tional Collection ; the letters B.M. after the species denote the 

 specimens now contained in the British Museum ; and the absence 

 of these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and 

 therefore desirable to be procured for the CoUeetion.
