CATALOGUE OF PALiEARCTIC PSYCPIDKS. 



Catalogue of Palaearctic Psychides.

No apology is, I hope, necessary for reprinting the List which 

 appeared in Tutt's British Lepiduptera, Vol. IF., pp. 481-434 (1900). 

 This List was never published in the Entoinolot/ist's Recoyd, and it will 

 probably be of interest to some collectors who do not possess the 

 volume in which it appeared, yet may now, as it is hoped, be inclined 

 to take an active intei-est in the Group. 



The List is printed exactly as produced by Mr. Tutt, except that 

 the necessary correction has been made in the identification of 

 Acanthopsijche atra, L., which had been confused with Ptllocephala 

 2^1 limit era, 0. The species have been numbered for my own convenience 

 in sorting out the large material comprised in Dr. Chapman's 

 collection and my own additions — with the microscopic mounts, which 

 I am preparing. A certain modification has also Deen introduced in 

 the difference of type for clearness, at the suggestion of Mr. J. Hartley 

 Durrani. 



In approving of my wish to reprint Mr. Tutt's List, Dr. T. A. 

 Chapman writes me: — " Dissoctena is quite wrongly placed. Solenohia, 

 Taleporia and Luffia should all be in one Family (Tribe ?) to which 

 Dissoctena does not belong, but is probably nearer Tutt's Bijtiifis." 



My opportunities of study are too small to allow me to search for 

 signs of further progress in the subject since Brituli Lepidoptera was 

 published. Mr. H. J. Turner has called my attention to a List 

 published -by Dr. Eebel in Spuler's Sclun. Eur., II. (July, 1906 — 

 additions 1910). This List appears to approximate closely with the 

 species enumerated in Stand, and Rebel's Catalog. (1901). Seitz 

 Macrolepidoptera of the World, Vol. II., 1913, describes and figures the 

 " Macro " portion of the Paltearctic Psijchidea, but this cannot be 

 compared with Tutt's complete list. 



Dr. T. A. Chapman in Entomologist's Record, Vol. XV., p. 324 and 

 XVI., p. 67, describes and figures a new species which he names 

 Pyropsyche moncanella , and assigns his new Genus to a position between 

 Arctus and Psyche in Tutt's list. — C.R.N. Burrows.
