The Council of the Plymouth Institution and Devon and Cornwall 
Natural History Society being desirous to embody, in the Annual Reports, 
a Catalogue of the Fauna and Flora of the two couaties, the following is the 
second instalment towards that object. The i-hopalocerous section was 
treated of in the last report; and, in the present, there is a list of native 
insects belonging to the first and second groups of the Heteroeera, viz., the 
Sphingina and Bonibycina. 
This second portion of the Catalogue has been prepared mainly from the 
original notes and observations of the writer, who has been assisted (with 
respect to distant habitats) by reliable correspondents ; printed books having 
been referred to only when other authority was wanting. 
The arrangement adopted is that of Stainton's "Manual of British 
Butterflies and Moths," — selected in consequence of its being not only the 
latest complete work on the British Lepidoptera, but also the most accessible. 
When initials are appended, the writer is indebted to his correspondents, to 
whom he takes this opportunity of returning his warmest acknowledgments. 
The following contributors' names are abbreviated in the Catalogue, as in 
the subjoined list : — 
Dr. Battersby, Torquay Dr. B.
