BY HORACE HART, PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY
PSE AGE
AT the request of Professor Westwood, and under the orders and sanction of the Delegates of the Press, this work is being produced as a students’ handbook to all the Eastern Moths in the Oxford University Museum, including chiefly the Walkerian types of the moths collected by Wal- lace in the Malay Archipelago, which for many years have been lost sight of and forgotten for want of a catalogue of reference.
The Oxford University Museum collection of moths is very largely a collection of the types of Hope, Saunders, Walker, and Moore, many of the type specimens being unique and of great scientific value.
All Walker’s types mentioned in his Catalogue of Hetero- cerous Lepidoptera in the British Museum as ‘in coll. Saun- ders’ should be in the Oxford Museum, as also the types of all the species therein mentioned by him as described in Trans. Ent. Soc., Lond., 3rd ser. vol. i.
The types of all the species mentioned in Walker’s cata- logue which have a given locality preceding the lettered localties showing that they are in the British Museum should also be in the Oxford Museum. In so far as this work has proceeded this has been proved to be the case by the correct-
vi PREFACE.
ness of the locality labels on the type specimens, and by Walker’s manuscript names found below them.
I have to thank Professor Westwood for the assistance he has given me in furnishing me with accommodation in the Oxford Museum, and in permitting me to take out specimens for comparison at other Museums. Nine-tenths of the mis- takes made by systematic Lepidopterists are made for want of this permission, and, without it, it is hopeless to expect identifications to be made with any approach to correctness.
I have also to thank Messrs. Moore and Hampson for much kindly assistance, the former in identification of species, and the latter in working out the genera.

Above, reddish brown, thorax and abdomen suffused with bright chesnut, sides of abdomen with three large dark ochreous round spots, followed by two small pure white spots; anal tuft dark blackish brown, fore-wings with a purplish suffusion sparsely irro- rated with brown atoms. ‘Transverse bands chesnut brown, an indistinct one at the base. 2nd ante medial thickening downwards and expanding towards the base on the hinder margin. 3rd post medial elbowed outwards above the middle, and slightly elbowed inwards below the middle, followed by a dark suffusion in the disc, not extending to the costa, a marginal distorted band, and a small square blackish subapical mark. Hind-wings blackish brown with a central deep reddish ochreous band, with its margins well defined.
Underside, face whitish, body and wings pale dull chesnut, wings with a broad greyish brown marginal band with distorted inner margins, and with three sinuous brown transverse lines all beyond the middle on the fore-wings, and commencing from just before the middle in the hind-wings, the inner line in both wings thickest and straightest.
Expanse of wings 17% inches.
a Java (type) (Horsfield).
Allied to JZ. zzstpida (Butler), from Ceylon, somewhat of the same hue of colour, the second and third bands on the fore-wing above are much more separated than in that species, the second is much more even, and the third more distorted ; the hind-wings are deeper, and the brown marginal band is broader, and has a more evenly curved inner margin.
There are specimens of this species also from Java in the British
, Museum unnamed.

Above, dark brown, a blackish brown line along the centre of the thorax, and extending along the head to the tips of the palpi, abdomen with large ochreous spots at the sides of the central segments, and a pair of black spots in the middle of these two segments, a whitish segmental line marking the last segment, a black central patch just above the anal tuft, which is large and blackish brown.
Fore-wings with a purplish tinge, transverse bands blackish brown, Ist ante medial, erect and expanding downwards, 2nd a little beyond the middle, broad, clearly margined with black, elbowed outwardly above, and nearly erect downwards, followed by a pale out- wardly curved discal line, a large and longish sub-apical squarish spot, and a small blackish mark on the outer margin just below the apex.
Hind-wings blackish brown, with a narrow ochreous central band of the usual kind.
Underside, very dark uniform reddish brown, palpi, face and pectus white, a small pure white spot at the sides in each segment ; wings with faint traces of some transverse lines, and with a bright ochreous space at the abdominal margin of hind-wings.
Expanse of wings 2,3; inches.
a. Sumatra (type) (Wallace).
Allied to JZ. sitiene (Walker), differs in the closeness and greater breadth of the bands on the fore-wings, the much narrower belt on the hind-wings, and the darker and more uniform colouration of the underside.

19. Macroglossa labrosa. n. sp.
Above, dark brown with a glaucous tinge ; thorax with some chesnut brown hairs, abdomen with a large square reddish ochreous spot on the first three segments on each side, with a continuation of small tufts of brown bristles tipped with the same colour, and with the anal tuft large, similarly coloured, but with the ochreous colour predominating ; fore-wings with darker transverse bands.
Ist ante medial, almost all the entire basal portion up to the band darkened.
2nd post medial, with its sides well defined by two dark lines slightly curving outwards above, apical space also dark.
Hind-wings bright ochreous, two or three brown basal streaks, and a broad dark brown marginal band with a well curved and fairly defined inner margin.
Underside, face white, pectus greyish, abdomen, legs and wings red- dish brown, abdominal tufts at the sides and anal tuft reddish, wings broadly ochreous at their basal portions, about one third on the fore-, and halfon the hind-wings with three indistinct transverse central lines,
6 SPHINGID.
Expanse of wings 2;%5 inches. a. Bouru (type) (Wallace).
Allied to JZ. alcedo (Boisd.), fore-wings somewhat similar, hind- wings with the yellow band of a similar hue but paler, can, however, easily be distinguished by its great width of body, by its very much broader yellow band, by the yellow anal tuft, and by the broad yellow base of both wings below.
20. Macroglossa inusitata. n. sp.
Above, blackish brown, abdomen more blackish, with black seg- mental bands at the sides, and with indistinct yellowish spots on the two central segments, anal tuft long and thick and very dark, fore- wing with indistinct darker transverse bands, Ist sub-basal very indistinct, 2nd ante medial, the broadest, curved outwardly and thickening downwards. 3rd post medial indicated by its two mar- ginal lines, elbowed outwards just below the costa, and inwards in its middle coming close to the second band. 4th discal indistinct, indicated by its two faint marginal lines, and shaped somewhat as in the third, also some apical darker indistinct marks
Hind-wings blackish brown, with a broad ochreous central band, the inner margin irregular, the outer well curved and well defined.
Underside, face white, body and legs soot brown, abdomen with segmental dark bands, three small white spots at the sides below the middle, anal tuft dark brown, wings dark brown but dull in colour, hind margin of fore-wings and abdominal marginal space of hind- wings ochreous; no visible transverse lines.
Expanse of wings 2} inches.
a. Dorey (type) (Wallace).
Coloured somewhat similarly on the wings to JZ. alcedo (Boisd.), the transverse bands on the fore-wings are more numerous and closer together and the yellow band on hind-wings nearly as broad in WZ. labrosa; there are only a few brown streaks.
Can be easily distinguished by its very black abdomen above and below and by its peculiar bottle shape.

GENus ZYGASNOPSIS. Gen. Nov.
g Antennz with short stout pectinations swollen towards their terminations and minutely ciliated with one to three long cilia at extremities, palpi short, slight, and porrect, mid. and hind legs each with a minute pair of terminal spurs to the tibia. Fore-wing long and rather narrow, the apex and outer margin evenly rounded, vein I single, vein 2 from some way before the end of the cell, vein 3 from close to the end, 4 and 5 from the end, vein 9 gives off 7 and 8, vein 7 given off from g nearer the end of cell than 8, vein 10 from before the end of cell, 11 from two thirds the length and anastomosing with vein 12. Hind-wing long and narrow, the apex rather pointed, veins 1a, 14 straight, vein 2 from before the end of cell, vein 3 from just before the end, 4 and 5 from the end, 6 absent, 7 from the upper end of cell, 8 from a little before the end.
Type, 2. fuscimarginalis.
This genus should either be placed at the end of Syztomzne or commence- ment of Chalcosiine; the antenne are characteristic of the latter, and the anastomosis of veins 11 and 12 of the fore-wing occur in many Chalcosid genera, while the absence of veins in the cell of either wing, and vein 1 of fore-wing not being double, and vein 1 of hind-wing not being treble, are Syzfomzd characters.

Walker’s type of #zarmorea from Sylhet is perfectly distinct from the common pale insect with white hind-wings, which has heretofore been wrongly identified as V. marmorea. Walker’s type is recorded by him as being a female from Sylhet, but is a male, and is well described and figured by Butler in Ill. Typ., v. p. 43, pl. 87, f. Io. There are both sexes in the B. M. collection, and there is a female in this collection identical with the type also from Sylhet, and with a label ‘marmorea’ on it in Walker’s own handwriting. Of the common and perfectly distinct form which I have named after Mr. Butler there are excellent series of both sexes in both the British and Oxford Museums. Walker’s description of #zarmorea, though incomplete, is quite sufficient to identify the type by, ‘the head black with white bands is in itself quite sufficient; I have examined the type and the

é Antenne and palpi black, palpi with two white bands, frons white, top of head, collar, thorax, and abdomen bright chrome yellow, abdomen paler than the thorax, thorax with a black spot on each side and one in the centre behind the middle, and with a whitish band behind; abdomen with a central row of five small black spots; fore-wings dark slate colour with white veins, the white expanding slightly on the slate-coloured cilia.
Hind-wings with a white ground colour, a large square spot outside upper end of cell, a broad black marginal band, dentated on both sides, very much so inwardly, and extended in a suffused and paler colour in the interspaces on the lower half of the wing and broadly on the costal margin, leaving only a small upper portion and some streaks hindwards of pure white, cilia also white.
Underside, wings blackish brown with a blue sheen, both wings with white veins ; fore-wings with a white sub-apical band and a white longitudinal belt below the cell; hind-wings with the inter- spaces in the inner portions mostly white; body white, slightly luteous, with black spots on each side of abdomen and rows of black spots all over the thorax; legs black streaked with white.
Expanse of wings 4 inches.
a. Manilla (type).

I recorded this insect in Trans. Ent. Soc., 1890, p. 180, as male of N. marmorea by mistake; it is quite distinct : there are both sexes of it in the Oxford Museum, and in my own collection. It appears to be very widely distributed amongst the Islands of the Malay Archi- pelago and extends into Burma. I have a specimen from Rangoon.

Hypsa perimele. Weymer: Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1885, p. 275, pl. 11, f. 3. a. Nias.
This species Herr Snellen puts as a synonym of H. dama (Fabr.), (Tijd. voor Ent., 1888, p. 139); it is in my opinion more nearly allied to A’. intacta (Walker), and only differs from that species in the broader border to the hind-wings. /. dama has a broad longitudinal streak on the fore-wings, which in this species is altogether absent. I have examined the type of 7. dama (Fabr.); it is in the Banksian Cabinet in the B. M.

(Bernstein). f. Batchian (type y) (Wallace). g. Mysol (type 6) (Wallace). Apparently all one variable species. The example from Mysol has a thin marginal brown band to the hind-wings, and those from Morty and Batchian have no brown streaks in the interspaces on the fore-wings. Mr. Butler is in error in saying (Trans. Ent. Soc., Lond., 1875, p- 322) that the type is in the B. M.; the Aru type and all the types of the varieties are in the Oxford University Museum.
408. Hypsa ochrealis. n. sp.
@ Bright ochreous, palpi with a black spot at the base on each side, and another at tip of second joint, last joint and antennz black, thorax with a black spot on each side in front, abdomen with a dorsal row of black spots. Fore-wings with six black spots near the base on each side, three sub-costal and the other three in a curve below. Hind-wings slightly paler towards the costa, otherwise all the wings and body are of one bright uniform dark ochreous colour.
Underside, slightly paler but perfectly uniform in colour; fore- wings with a black sub-costal spot beyond the middle, abdomen with small lateral black spots; legs grey.
Expanse of wings 27% inches.
a. Goram Ceram (type) (Wallace).
Belongs to the zwzsularis group. Hf. iusularis (Boisd.) from Bourbon, has narrower wings than in that species, and differs in the black spots above and below.
409. Hypsa avacta. n. sp.
? Bright ochreous, palpi black above, ochreous beneath, last joint and the antennz black, thorax with a black spot on each side in front. Fore-wings with five large black spots near the base, two on the costa and three in a curve below. Hind-wings with the costal portion slightly paler, otherwise both wings and body are of a uniform bright ochreous colour; all but the first segment of the abdomen of this otherwise perfect specimen is missing, and there- fore it is impossible to say whether the abdomen is banded or not; the split frenulum however proves its sex.
Underside, as above, hardly paler, colour perfectly uniform; both wings with a large black patch on centre of costa, and fore-wings with pale black suffused streaks along the costal space, legs brown above, whitish beneath.
Expanse of wings 2,5) inches.
a. Batchian (type) (Wallace).
Allied to the preceding species, is paler and of a different shade of colour, differs in the colour of the palpi, the black spots at base of fore-wings, and the large black patches on the wings beneath.
