THE MOTHS OF INDIA. 
SUPPLEMENTARY PAPER TO THE VOLUMES IN 
“THE FAUNA OF BRITISH INDIA,” 
SERIES II, PART I. 
By Sir G. F. Hampson, Barv., F.Z.S., F.ES, 
(With Plate B.) 
The following paper commences the 2nd series of supplementary papers 
on India Moths, in which I propose to include an abstract relating to 
Indian species taken from the volumes onthe “ Moths of the World,” pub- 
lished by the British Museum, where will be found coloured figures of all 
species not figured elsewhere ; the Ist volume deals with the Syntomide, the 
most specialized family of the Noctuid branch of the Lepidoptera ; the 2nd 
volume includes the sub-families Noline and Lithosiane of the Arctiade, 
and will be followed by the sub-family Arctiane, then the families A garistide 
and Noctuide, 'The genera are placed in the order adopted in thosa volumes, 
and the keys to the species will give the order which should be followed, - 
the numbers attached to them referring to those in the “ Fauna of India”’ 
volumes and the supplementary papers, the abstracts thus forming classi- 
fications and keys to the families which should, I think,be of use to 
Indian collectors now that our knowledge of the subject is considerably 
advanced,
