NOTES AND CORRIGENDA 



VOL. VI. 



NOTE TO P. 4 : Classification of Hymenoptera. Mr. W. Ashmead has 

 published * a sketch of a new classification of Hymenoptera, in which the 

 points we have suggested are given effect to ; the first division of the Petiolata 

 being carried out with reference to the position of the ovipositor, while 

 part of the Proctotrypidae is brought into the Aculeate division. We cannot, 

 however, commend this arrangement as final, for several points have not 

 received sufficient consideration. 



NOTE TO P. 172, line 22. For the words " We shall subsequently 

 see," substitute " We have previously said" (p. 161). 



NOTE TO P. 350, line 10 from bottom: instead of "only one genus," 

 read " only one Old World genus." 



NOTE TO P. 541, line 16 : instead of "two" read "ten." 



VOL. V. 



P. 217, line 4. For sterna read nota. 



P. 271. The lettering of Fig. 158 is erroneous ; under the lower point- 

 ing line the letter d should be inserted, and the left hand upper pointing 

 line should bear the letter c instead of d. 



P. 277, line 7. Instead of Fig. 162, read Fig. 163 ; and line 9, instead 

 of Fig. 163 read Fig. 164. 



P. 378. The species figured has since been described by Mr. Haviland 

 as Termes malayanus. 



P. 380. The species figured has since been described by Mr. Haviland 

 as Termes mirabilis. 



P. 383. Hodotermes japonicus. It has been recorded (P. Boston Soc. xii. 

 1869, p. 139) that this is not a Termite, but an immature form of the 

 earwig Brachylabis maritima. 



Pp. 480 and 481. It is not made clear that the distinction in the 

 number of joints of the palpi of Phryganeides and Limnophilides applies to 

 the males only ; in both groups the number of joints in the females is five. 

 The remark as to Phryganeides occurring in the Southern Hemisphere is 

 erroneous. It is Limnophilides that reappear in Chili, not Phryganeides. 



P. 490. Fig. 333 A, / and its line point to a division of the mesonotum, 

 not of the metanotum. 



P. 564. Habits of Pelecinus. Mr. S. A. Forbes has recorded an observa- 

 tion suggesting that P. polyturator may be a parasite of Lamellicorn beetles 

 of the genus Lachnosterna. See Rep. Ins. Illinois, xix. 1896, p. 79.
