INDEX 



Illustrations are indicated by an asterisk. Page references in black face 

 type are to definitions of technical terms. Etymologies are given for the c 

 order, suborder, superfamily, and family names. In etymologies of names, 

 derived from the Greek, the Greek is followed by the transliteration (in 

 italics) of the Greek letters into Latin letters, and that by the English 

 meaning; in those derived from the Latin, the Latin (in italics) and the Eng- 

 lish meaning are given; in those derived from other languages, the nativity 

 of each word is specifically indicated. Each of the family names has been 

 derived by adding -ids (having the force of a patronymic) to the name of 

 the type-genus, which, in the index, immediately follows the family name. 

 The family termination is not repeated throughout the etymologies and 

 should be supplied by the reader.
