PREFATORY NOTE
Wirs the present volume the first group of Indian Inver- tebrata included in the present Series is completed. Of the remaining Lepidoptera, the Butterflies are being fully described elsewhere, whilst the Tineas, Tortrices, and a few other lowly organized forms are not sufficiently known for a general description to be practicable at present. The magnitude of the work is shown by the fact that the four volumes of Moths, with the Appendix to the last volume, contain descriptions of 5618 species regarded as valid, exclusive of races or subspecies.
The number of Indian Insects and other Invertebrata is so large, and that of students and collectors of the majority of the groups so small, that it is very difficult to deal with most of the orders. I am therefore fortunate in being able to announce that the next volume (to be published, it is hoped, early in 1897) will commence the description of the Hymenoptera, and contain the Bees and Wasps by Col. C. T. Bingham.

PREFACE.
Tue Fourth Volume of the Moths in the ‘ Fauna of British India’ deals with the subfamilies, genera, and species of Indian Pyralide.
In the lowest subfamily, the Pyraustine, the least specia- lized form is Simethistis tricolor, with vein 5 of each wing from the middle of the discocellulars, all the subcostals of the fore wing from the cell, vein 8 of the hind wing free, and the palpi porrect with the 3rd joimt naked—a combination of generalized characters which would almost allow this species to be regarded as the ancestor of the whole family. Almost all other Pyralide have veins 8 and 9 of the fore wing stalked. From Simethistis the Pyraustine diverge in two directions—firstly, to forms with porrect triangularly scaled palpi, the 3rd joint concealed, from low down in which series originated the Scopariine, with raised tufts of scales on the fore wing; and, secondly, to forms with upturned palpi, the 3rd joint long and acuminate. From the lower Pyraustine, with porrect palpi and the 38rd joint naked, arose also the other groups of Pyralide :—
The Hydrocampine with vein 10 of the fore wing stalked with 8 and 9:
The Pyraline, with vein 7 stalked with 8 and 9, and vein 8 of the hind wing free; giving rise to (a) the Endotrichine, with vein 8 of the hind wing anastomosing with 7, from which arose the Chrysaugine, with the maxillary palpi absent ; and (6) the Hpipaschiine, with raised tufts of scales on the fore wing and vein 8 of the hind wing either free or anastomosing with 7, giving rise to the Phycitine, with vein 7

of the fore wing absent and the median nervure of the hind wing pectinate above: from these again spring the Anerastiine, with the proboscis absent :
The Schenobiine, with the proboscis absent :
And the Crambine, with the median nervure of the hind wing pectinate above, and the maxillary palpi triangularly dilated with scales; from this subfamily were developed the Galleriine, with the maxillary palpi filiform or very slightly dilated. (See Phylogeny, p. 1.)
The Appendix contains the additions made to the list of Indian species since the volumes dealing with the families to which they belong were published, and is complete up to date, with the exception of a few species of Geometride and Pyralide described by Mr. Warren, in the ‘ Annals and Magazine of Natural History’ and the ‘ Novitates Zoologice,’ too late to be included: these will be dealt with in the first of a series of supplementary papers which I hope to publish annually in the Proceedings of one of the Scientific Societies, so as to keep pace with the development of the subject. There will also be found in the Appendix a number of corrections which I have been enabled to make whilst. working at the fresh material sent to me from time to time. All criticisms published or made to me personally have been carefully considered, and where acceptable the altera- tions suggested are adopted. I have also corrected, where necessary, the position assigned to species described by Mr. Moore in the Atkinson collection, as, by the kindness of Dr. Staudinger, I have had the opportunity of seeing the types of the species with which I was unacquainted, and there now remain but very few described Indian species which I have not examined.
_ The publication of the present volume brings to a con- clusion the whole of the original scheme for the work on Indian Moths, with the addition of the Pyralid subfamilies Galleriine, Crambine, Schenobiine, Anerastiine, and Phy- citing, leaving only the Tortrices, Tineas, and Plumes for future study.
PREFACE. vil
The Council of the Zoological Society have kindly allowed me the use of figures 10, 11, and 18 to 33, which appeared in a paper in the ‘ Proceedings’ for 1895 on the classification of the Schenobiine and Crambine ; and the Council of the Entomological Society have lent me figures 241, 243, 244, 248, 251, 2538, 254, 259, 262, 268, 270, 272, 274, 279, 282, and 287, which appeared in their ‘Transactions’ for 1895.
I have again to thank all those who have so kindly assisted me during the progress of the work—both the Collectors in India, who have liberally supplied me with specimens and information, and the owners of Collections in England, who have put the whole of their material freely at my disposal. The names of most of those who have aided me have been mentioned in the prefaces to the other three volumes, and I have also to express my thanks to Surg.-Col. J.G. Pilcher in Sikhim and Mr. J. Pole in Ceylon, who have sent to me valuable collections during the last two years.
