BIBLIOGRAPHICAL CATALOGUE OF THE DESCKIBED TRANSFORMATIONS OF NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. BY HENRV KDAVARDS. 41 %. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT P R I N T I X (i OFFICE. 1889. UeRARY r.c — ADVEIITISEMENT. V( The present publication (Bulletin Xo. 35) is the forty-sixth of a series of papers intended to illustrate the colleetions belonging to the United States, and constituting the National Museum, of which the Smithsonian Institution was placed in charge by the act of Con- gress of August 10, 1846. ' The publications of the National Museum consist of two series the BjLilletins, of which this is No. 35, in continuous series, and the Proceedings, of which the eleventh volume is now in press. The volumes of Proceedings are printed, signature by signature, each issue having its own date, and a small edition of each signature is distributed to libraries promptly after its publication. Full lists of the publications of the Museum may be found in the current catalogues of the publications of the Smithsonian Institution. Papers intended for publication in the Proceedings and Bulletins of the National :Museum are referred to the Committee on Publica- tions, consisting of the following "members: T. H. Bean, A.

BY H E X rt V E D ^V A R LJ S WASHINGTON: government print.ing office, i88q. (3) tm i ^^3 PREFACE. I believe that the present Cataloj^ue will supp!y a want that has lon;^ been felt by many entom()loy;ists, and thouj^h it may be far from perfect, it will, I trust, be acceptable to the students of the earlier stages of North American Lejidoptera. In its compilation I have occupied a j^i^ood portion of the spare time at my command for three yea''s past, and have carefully examined every publication that has been accessible to me. I know that many references may possibly have been omitted, the works in which they occur not beinjj^ within my reach, but I trust that few if any s/ifiifs have lieen overlooked altogether. Should such be the case, however, I shall be greatly indebted to my entomological friends if they will point them out to me, as it is my intention to issue a supplement to this list once a year, and thus keep up with the knowledge of what descriptions have been recorded. In the nomenclature I have followed the cata- logue of W. H. I'klwards in the Diuniw; Grote's Check List (iSSj) in the Afacro-LepiJoptera; Professor. Fernald in the Tortricidcc ; Stainton, Clemens, and Chambers in the Tineidie; and Lord Walsingham in the P/(Top/iflriihe. Of the two latter families no catalogue of our species exists, and I therefore ask for indulgence should any errors in the seciuence of the genera or otherwise be detected. It has been my aim to make the references as clear but at the same time as brief as possible, and I have, as will be seen, arranged all descriptions according to the date of their publication. When the words (cpiotes Harris, c. .i,^) occur after the name of the describer, it will be under- stood that the ttwt of the descripticm has been used; but when the words (after Riley or Abb. Sm., etc.) are found, it will mean that the iirawing ov engraving has been borrowed from these authors. In all the species, where known to me, the food-plant has been given, except in the case of the Arctias and in Agrotis, the former being almost general feeders, and the latter living chiefly on grasses and low herl)ace(nis plants. If a reference is followed by the word (brief), it signifies that the same is but a mere mention, often perhaps only a f(j(xl-plant, but it has been deemed advisable to include such notices.
