PREFACE
Tur subject of Vol. IX. of the ‘Catalogue of Moths’ is the third and final part of the very large Noctuid subfamily Acronyctine ; it contains 725 species belonging to 185 genera as compared with 843 species belonging to 96 genera in Vol. VII., and 720
species belonging to 104 genera in Vol. VIII.
The comparatively short list of unrecognised species belonging to the subfamily, at the end of the Volume, is evidence of the ready help given to Sir George Hampson by the loan of types and specimens by Entomologists interested in the subject.
A large proportion of the species included in this list were described by the older authors and the types are lost.
Plate CXLVIII. will appear with Vol. X. of the Catalogue.
