APPENDIX. 



During the printing of this work several genera new 

 to America have been added in recent publications; other 

 changes or additions I have ascertained by the examina- 

 tion of types. The student is requested to insert marginal 

 references in the body of the work wherever such changes 

 or additions should be made. 



Page 25, near middle, for 'maxillae' read mandibles; fourth line from 

 bottom for 'not' read seldom. 



Page 28, third line, strike out remainder of sentence beginning 'and 

 it has been said', and see footnote, page 81. 



Page 35, Mr. Austen urges the abandonment of the term 'metatarsus', 

 and I quite agree with him that the word, as used, is etymologically 

 incorrect. Whether or not distinctive terms for the different tarsal 

 joints are desirable I do not know, but I suggest the following: pro- 

 tarsus, epitarsus, tnesotarsus, metatarsus, onychotarsus.
