2 CATALOGUE OF MOTHS. 



Modern arrangements have departed in many ways from the 

 sequence in which groups and genera were made to follow each 

 other, and also, to some extent, as to the group in which 

 certain genera and individual species should be placed. Thus 

 several species included by Stainton in the Pyealidista have 

 been moved elsewhere by more recent writers, whilst the 

 Pteeophokina, which Stainton placed last of all, has now been 

 incorporated with this group. Some species, included here by 

 Stainton, have already been given where they are placed by 

 Barrett. To avoid any misunderstanding I will enumerate all 

 those occurring in the district, in the order in which they 

 appear in the "Manual," referring for details to the page in 

 the former volume, when they have already been included 

 there. 



]S"ewman's work ceased at the end of the Macro-Lepidoptera, 

 and also that giving coloured figures of the larvae by Owen 

 "Wilson. These two therefore fall out of our list of references. 

 I will include Stainton's ''Manual," and Meyrick's "Hand- 

 book " as before, for the imagines, and Buckler's figures of the 

 larvsD. I will add reference to " The British Pyralides," by 

 the late J. W. Leech. This work contains fairly good figures 

 of all the British species, and of the Plumes (Pteeophoeina), 

 which most modern wiiters include with this group. These 

 figures may be of considerable assistance to beginners.
