J. Elwes. By W. WARREN, M.A. With Notes by H. J. ELWES, F.Z.S. [Received April 18, 1893.] (Plates XXX.-XXXII.) [The following descriptions have been written by Mr. Warren, from specimens selected from my Collection, whilst engaged in working out and arranging the insects of the family Geometridae in the British Museum. They were intended to have been published as part of a paper on the Lepidoptera of Sikkim, of which two parts have already appeared ; but as the total number of species is very large, and the whole of the Indian Heterocera are in course of revision by Mr. Hampson, and as many of these species of which specimens were collected by me in 1886 have remained so long undescribed, I have thought it best not to delay any longer descriptions of the new species. I may add that, as I have examined the whole of the large collection formed by the late Mr. Atkinson now in the possession of Dr. Staudinger, and as Mr. Warren has studied the whole of the Geometridae in the collection of te British Museum and of Mr. F. Moore, there is good reason to believe that few or no synonyms will be now created. The notes which I have added will give, as far as possible, the localities where these species have been taken, though of many of them, for which I am indebted to the late Otto Moller, Mr. Knyvett, and Mr. Doherty, we know but little at present. |
