This family is divided by Alcock iato two sections, the first con 

 taining his sub-families Xanthinae, Actaeinae, and Chlorodinae, the 

 second his Menippinae, Oziinae, Pilumnidae, and Eriphiinae. The 

 sub-family Xanthinge is subdivided into six alliances. However 

 necessary these intricacies of classification may be in a fully 

 developed systematic treatise, I have not found it convenient to 

 use them in the catalogue of a narrowly restricted local fauna, 

 although, for convenience of reference, I follow the order in which 

 the several genera are noticed by Alcock.
