notes on the history of each collection consulted in the course of this work will be 
found on pages 270-281. 
NOTES ON THE FORMAT OF THE ANNOTATED CATALOGUE 
Except in the case of Adelocera, which is treated in greater detail (see p. 22), the 
following information is given for each species: the original combination with the 
author, date and reference and, where there has been a change, the most recently 
published combination. In those cases in which a previously published combination 
is restored, the first use of that combination is recorded. 
Labels on holotypes, paratypes, lectotypes and paralectotypes are quoted 
verbatim throughout, but in addition the country name (when known for certain) 
is given first in its current form, in capitals, whether or not it occurs on the labels. 
All lectotypes, paralectotypes and syntypes and also, where necessary, holotypes 
and paratypes have been appropriately labelled. Labels on other specimens are 
quoted verbatim in sufficient detail for them to be identified where this is necessary; 
in other cases the data are listed in a standardized form. The handwriting on 
labels has been identified wherever possible, and the name of the writer given in 
square brackets. Labels without this information are in a handwriting unknown 
to me or printed. 
Geographical place-names appearing in The Times Index-Gazetteer of the World, 
1965, are recorded without comment. For place-names not appearing in The Times 
Index-Gazetteer the alternative present-day name or the latitude and longitude are 
given in square brackets. A list of gazetteers consulted in the course of this work 
will be found at the end of the References. 
ABBREVIATIONS AND SYMBOLS USED IN THE CATALOGUE

identification of handwriting, the meaning of numbers, letters or signs on, or
