Part II.^ 



[Eeceived January 10, 1899.] 



In the first part of this paper, the classification of the subfamily 

 Pi/raiistince of the Pyralidce was completed as far as the end of 

 the 1st group of genera with upturned palpi ; in the present part 

 the second group of genera with porrect palpi is dealt with. The 

 key to all the genera of the subfamily, the phylogenetic table, and 

 the plates illustrating some of the new species were given in the 

 first part of the paper. 



"We should be greatly obliged for the loan of specimens of any 

 of the species mentioned in the series of papers on the Pyralidce 

 that I have been unable to identify ; they would be carefully 

 packed and returned after examination.
