About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884. Excerpt: ... the Castniares Boisduval, and placing the Sphingidae between these and the ZygaenidiE, goes a step farther in establishing the group "Procrides" consisting of those genera provided with pectinated antennae. He considers the group as equivalent to the Sesiares (iEgeriadEe), to the Castniares and likewise the Zygaanidae. The elimination of Sesia and Thyris is an improvement upon Latreille. In 1832, Newman divides the Zygaenidae into Stygiides, iEgeriites and Glaucopites. In 1839, Dr. T. W. Harrisf like the author just quoted divides the "Sphinges adscitae" Linn, into three families, i. e. Agarisliilce.Zygc&nidce and Glaucopidas which last name must be a synonym of Biosduval's "Procrides," since it is used in exactly the same sense. The year after, WestwoodJ under the term Uraniidce adopts a provisional arrangement of Urania with Castnia and allies. He rejects the name Zygseriidte, using instead Anthroceridae Westwood, since Stephens had already rejected Zygsena, "the name Zygaena having been preoccupied in Ichthyology." This is probably an error, since Latreille's name has priority over Cuvier's. Of all the writers upon the Castniares, Klug has been the most thorough. His article "Ueber die Lepidopteren-Gattung Synemon,"j is a positive addition to our knowledge of these moths. Besides the quite full historical account of the group, and the descriptions and good figures of new species of the Australian genus Synemon Doubleday, we have a mass of new facts concerning the comparative struciure of the genus above named, and very precise information about the transformation of the South American genus Castnia, fully confirming the observations of Madam Merian, which had been doubted by Westwood, together with important remarks on the classification of the whole g...
