[Plates VI. k VU.] 



The following paper deals with species of Heterocera be- 

 longing to the families Epicopiid^, Uraniidas, Epiplemidae, 

 and GeometridjB. As, however, there are about nine hundred 

 species in the latter family recorded from the region under 

 consideration, it seemed advisable to divide the paper into 

 two parts. In the present instalment, therefore, only the 

 BoarpiiiniB subfamily of Geometridse is referred to. 



The arrangement of the list is based on the system of 

 classification adopted by Sir George Hampson, Bart., in his 

 work on Indian Heterocera (' Fauna of British India,' Moths, 

 iii.), but in some instances Mr. Meyrick's revision of the 

 Geometrina of the European fauna (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 

 1892, pp. 53-140) has been followed. 



Over one hundred and fifty of the species here enumerated 

 have not, so far as I am aware, been previously described.
