By G. V. HUDSON, F.E.S.
Author of 'An Elementary Manual of New Zealand Entomology.'
A descriptive account of the various species is given, the arrangement followed being that of Mr. E. Meyrick, in his recent 'Handbook of British Lepidoptera.' A full account of the transformation of each species is also given wherever known, many life-histories recently discovered by the author being now published for the first time.
The striking variations in colouring of some of the New Zealand Moths are very fully described and illustrated—in some instances as many as nine figures being given of one species. The figures have all been drawn from nature by the Author. Two hundred and thirty-four species are described in this work. With very few exceptions these are represented on the Plates, and by far the greater proportion are figured for the first time.
In addition to a very large number of original observations, this work contains, it is believed, a summary of the most important facts yet published in connection with the study of the larger species of New Zealand Moths and Butterflies. This work is the result of many years' investigation in the forests and mountains of this beautiful and interesting country.
