Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma, Vol. 2: Moths No attempt has been made in this or in the preceding volume to decide finally whether many of the forms described are entitled to rank as species, varieties, geo graphical or seasonal forms. Much more study of structure, and especially of the claspers of the male insect, will be needed before similar questions can be satisfactorily determined. The main object of the present work is to enable students to identify and classify the various forms, and thus to establish a workable basis for further enquiry as to their relations to each other. With this end in view, the plan adopted has been to unite under one specific heading those forms having close affinities in pattern and colour, merely noting their differences, whilst forms having a more remote relationship receive comparative, and those still more distantly related non-comparative, descriptions. In the same way groups of forms nearly allied in structure constitute sections of genera, others more remotely related form genera, subfamilies, &c.
