Gbyllidx— NOTICE. rpHE object of the Work now offered to the notice of the Entomologist and lover of Nature in general, is to present a Series of Figures of some of the rarer and more splendid species of Insects which have o'ithin these few last j-ears been for'oarded to England, from the various distiicts of India and the adjacent islands. It is indeed siu^jrising that, notwithstanding the vast extent of oiu' Indian territories, and the extraordinary brilhancy of many of the Entomological productions of that portion of the globe, we should liitherto have had no work expressly devoted to the Insects of India, except the single volume pubUshed by Mr. Donovan, nearlj^ fifty years ago; whilst, nevertheless, our cabinets, owing to the zeal with which this branch of Zoology is pm'sued by many Entomologists in those regions, teem with novelties which would alone form the materials of many volumes. A most elaborate work, indeed, on the Lepidopterous Insects of Java, was commenced by Dr. Horsfield, nearly twenty years ago, which, had it been completed, would have left nothing to be desired on that branch of the subject, so far as the Javanese species are concerned. Another work, also of a very splendid character, has been commenced by Dr. De Haau, on tlie Insects of the Dutch Settlements in the East, of which, however, two numbers only have yet appeared, restricted to two groups of Insects. A partial attempt to remedy this consequent deficiency was made in my " Arcana Entomologica," in which several interesting Oriental groups were illustrated; but the small size of the plates of tliat work prevented the introduction of many of the larger species, and a desu'e to give to it as scientific a character as lay in my power, rendered necessary much technical detail. The present work, however, is proposed to be rather a pictorial illustration of the larger and more splendid species ; and, as such, it is hoped, that, by finding its way to the table of the Indian drawing-room, it may gain additional converts to the study of a science full of curiosity, and awaten an interest in the objects of pursuit, thus supplying an engaging occupation to our Indian friends. I cannot conclude this notice without collectively thanking the several gentlemen who, by their practical exertions, have contributed so much to om- knowledge of the Insects of India within the last few years, amongst whom it is a duty to mention the names of Colonel Hearsey, Major Jenkins, Captains Boys, Hutton, and Robinson ; Drs. Royle, Horsfield, Templeton, Benson, and Downes ; to all of whom I have been indebted for materials for the present work. I need scarcely add, that I shall be happy to receive any communications suited for the present work, from our fellow-labourers in India. Observations especially upon the habits and transformations of Indian insects are, indeed, highly to be desired; and all such, with which I may be favoured by correspondents, shall be faithfully acknowledged.

Description.—The male of this most splendid addition to om- knowledge of the LameUicoru beetles of India, has the upper side of the body finely polished, especially on the disk of the prothorax, which is quite glossy, very convex above, and of a brilliant metallic green, tinged with copper, and strongly punctured, the sides deeply serrated and clothed with long fulvous hairs on the under side ; near each posterior angle is a deeply-sunk impression ; the elytra are nearly black, with a brassy tinge, and with numerous bright fulvous spots of irregular form, which are disposed so as to form four or five irregular longitudinal lines on each wing-cover. Under a lens the elytra are found to be entirely covered with exceedingly minute tubercles. The most striking chai-acter of the insect is exhibited by the fore-legs, which are disproportionately elongated and bent, the thighs with an acute appendage in the middle of the inner edge, the tibife subrugosc with a very strong and long spine in the middle, directed inwards, and another at the tip, at the extremity of which latter there is a small thick movable spur ; the tarsi are also very long, with strong bifid claws and with a small unguiculus terminated by two setse. On the outer edge of the tibise are two minute spines towards the base, and another is slightly indicated B 2 4 ORIENTAL ENTOMOLOGY. near the tip. The four hind feet are robust, with the tibiae strongly toothed in three separate series. The claws in these feet are formed as in those of the fore-legs. The entire under-suiface of the body is brassy black, thickly clothed with mouse-coloured hairs ; the fi-ont mai'gin of the head is elevated, sharp and slightly denticidated. The female, contrary to the usual rule among insects, is smaller than the male, agreeing with the latter in general colours and appearance, except that the wing-covers are of a greener tinge, the sides of the thorax not so much dilated, and the fore-legs of ordinary length, with broad flattened tibise, having at least five strong teeth (varying, however, in number on the opposite legs of the same individual). In the only specimen hitherto known of this sex, the anterior margin of the head was not symmetrical, the right angle being more porrected than the opposite one. The unique male * of this insect was received in a splendid collection from the Himalayas diu'ing the past summer, by H. G. Harrington, Esq., by whose direction an engraving of the insect was prepared, which has since been published in the Annals of Natural History, accompanied by a short note by Captain F. J. Parry, into whose rich collection it has now passed. The female was described by the Rev. F. W. Hope, in the Linnaean Transactions (vol. xviii. p. 594,) from a unique female collected in Assam by W. Griffith, Esq., in the collection of R. H. Solly, Esq.

During the present study, a total of 675 moth specimens were collected from the study area which represented 112 species from 16 families and eight super families. Though much of the species has been reported earlier from other parts of India, 15 species were first records for the state of Kerala. The highest species richness was shown by the family Erebidae and the least by the families Lasiocampidae, Uraniidae, Notodontidae, Pyralidae, Yponomeutidae, Zygaenidae and Hepialidae with one species each. The results of this preliminary study are promising; it sheds light on the unknown biodiversity of Vagamon hills which needs to be strengthened through comprehensive future surveys.

Entomologie, Plantage Middenlaan 64, NL-1018 DH Amsterdam, The Netherlands Colin G. T readaway, Entomologie II, Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Senckenberganlage 25, D-60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany Abstract: This publication covers all Sphingidae known from the Philippines at this time in the form of an annotated checklist. (A concise checklist of the species can be found in Table 4, page 120.) Distribution maps are included as well as 18 colour plates covering all but one species. Where no specimens of a particular spe­ cies from the Philippines were available to us, illustrations are given of specimens from outside the Philippines. In total we have listed 117 species (with 5 additional subspecies where more than one subspecies of a species exists in the Philippines). Four tables are provided: 1) a breakdown of the number of species and endemic species/subspecies for each subfamily, tribe and genus of Philippine Sphingidae; 2) an evaluation of the number of species as well as endemic species/subspecies per island for the nine largest islands of the Philippines plus one small island group for comparison; 3) an evaluation of the Sphingidae endemicity for each of Vane-Wright’s (1990) faunal regions. From these tables it can be readily deduced that the highest species counts can be encountered on the islands of Palawan (73 species), Luzon (72), Mindanao, Leyte and Negros (62 each).

This is an update of the Hawk-Moths flying in the transect between the cities of Karwar and Dharwar in northern Karnataka state, peninsular India, based on and following up on the previous fairly detailed study made by T.R.D. Bell around Karwar and summarized in the 1937 FAUNA OF BRITISH INDIA volume on Sphingidae. A total of 69 species of 27 genera are listed. The Western Ghats ‘Hot Spot’ separates these towns, one that lies on the coast of the Arabian Sea and the other further east, leeward of the ghats, on the Deccan Plateau. The intervening tract exhibits a wide range of habitats and altitudes, lying in the North Kanara and Dharwar districts of Karnataka. This paper is also an update and summary of Sphingidae flying in peninsular India. Limited field sampling was done; collections submitted by students of the Agricultural University at Dharwar were also examined and are cited here .

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 sen 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.
