Abstract
THE first volume of this series, containing the Syntomidæ, was published in 1898, and we have now to welcome the appearance of the second, comprising two groups, which the author treats as sub-families of the Arctiadæ; the typical Arctianæ being reserved for the third volume. 1193 species are described in the second volume all of which, except 162, belong to the Lithosianæ, the Nolinæ being a comparatively small sub-family.
