  It 
  will 
  hardly 
  be 
  disputed 
  that 
  Sir 
  George 
  F. 
  Hampson 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  

   the 
  most 
  energetic 
  and 
  hard-working 
  of 
  living 
  Entomologists, 
  

   when 
  we 
  consider 
  that 
  this 
  huge 
  volume, 
  the 
  thickest 
  of 
  the 
  whole 
  

   series, 
  was 
  published 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  year, 
  the 
  beginning 
  

   of 
  which 
  saw 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  vol. 
  ix. 
  of 
  the 
  series, 
  though 
  that 
  

   volume 
  was 
  smaller 
  and 
  contained 
  only 
  552 
  pages. 
  The 
  fascicule 
  

   of 
  coloured 
  plates 
  belonging 
  to 
  vol. 
  x., 
  however, 
  is 
  not 
  yet 
  ready, 
  

   but 
  will 
  appear 
  shortly. 
  The 
  present 
  volume 
  is 
  devoted 
  to 
  the 
  

   subfamily 
  Erastriance, 
  and 
  includes 
  1222 
  species 
  belonging 
  to 
  

   136 
  genera, 
  illustrated 
  by 
  214 
  figures 
  in 
  the 
  text, 
  showing 
  wings, 
  

   neuration, 
  head, 
  &c. 
  

  

  We 
  believe 
  that 
  another 
  volume 
  will 
  probably 
  complete 
  the 
  

   Noctuidse, 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  author 
  has 
  already 
  described 
  6197 
  in 
  vols. 
  

   iv.-x. 
  of 
  his 
  work. 
  

  

  The 
  Erastriance, 
  as 
  the 
  term 
  is 
  used 
  by 
  the 
  author, 
  include 
  all 
  

   the 
  British 
  moths 
  classed 
  under 
  the 
  section 
  Minores 
  by 
  Guenee, 
  

   except 
  Acontia 
  luctuosa 
  and 
  Erastria 
  venustula 
  ; 
  the 
  latter, 
  how- 
  

   ever, 
  is 
  described 
  by 
  Hampson 
  in 
  his 
  vol. 
  viii. 
  p. 
  493, 
  n. 
  4201, 
  

   as 
  Monodes 
  venustula 
  in 
  the 
  subfamily 
  Acronyctinai. 
  

  

  The 
  British 
  species 
  described 
  and 
  sometimes 
  figured 
  in 
  vol. 
  x., 
  

   under 
  Erastriance, 
  are 
  Euhlemma 
  ostrina, 
  Hiibn. 
  (p. 
  118), 
  

   E. 
  parva, 
  Hiibn. 
  (p. 
  136), 
  Lithacodia 
  fasciana, 
  L. 
  (= 
  fuscula, 
  

   Schiff. 
  (p. 
  539), 
  Eustrotia 
  uncula, 
  Clerck 
  (p. 
  578, 
  fig.), 
  Eustrotia 
  

   olivana, 
  Schiff. 
  (= 
  bankiana, 
  Fabr.) 
  (p. 
  580), 
  Erastria 
  trabealis, 
  

   Scop. 
  (= 
  sulphuralis, 
  L.) 
  (p. 
  660, 
  fig.), 
  and 
  Tarache 
  Iwida, 
  Hufn. 
  

   ( 
  = 
  Solaris, 
  Schiff.). 
  Except 
  Lithacodia 
  fuscula, 
  all 
  these 
  species 
  are 
  

   loial 
  in 
  Britain 
  (though 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  are 
  common 
  in 
  their
