Notes

Also appeared in an English translation in The macrolepidoptera of the world. Volume 10: The Indo-Australian bombyces and sphinges in 1933 from the same publisher, same pagination.Walter's role was not simply as contributer, as Seitz acknowledges: 'The chance of being able to illustrate almost every species of Arctiinae, and nearly all from perfect specimens, we owe to the generous assistance of Lord Rothschild, who has so kindly placed the necessary material at our disposal, in spite of all the additional difficulties that were incurred by the outbreak of the World War. In the same way the Sphingidae, Drepanidae among other groups, were all illustrated from specimens in the Tring Museum and I am glad of this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for the support accorded to me and this work' (p.vi).
