Though Several books have appeared on the Macrolepidoptera of Europe, a new work with good illustrations and of reasonable price may still be useful. It is to fill this want that the Authors have decided upon placing the present volume before their readers.

Space has not permitted them to include all the European species, but most of those inhabiting Central Europe have been dealt with, and nearly all those of the British Isles will be found described or figured. All the British species have English names assigned to them, a feature which has been neglected in many books of recent date.
