ered. In the Coleoptera and Lepidoptera the list has been writ- 

 ten by me with such help as is specifically acknowledged, except 

 that the Microlepidoptera are almost entirely the work of Mr. 

 W. D. Kearfott. In the Hymenoptera Mr. Henry L. Viereck is 

 responsible for the present general arrangement, the gall-flies 

 and ants being written by Mr. Beutenmuller and Dr. Wm. M. 

 Wheeler, respectively. The Diptera are again listed by Mr. C. 

 W. Johnson except for the gall-midges, which were done by Mr. 

 Beutenmuller, and the mosquitoes, which were written by Mr. 

 John A. Grossbeck. To all these gentlemen especial thanks are 

 due, for without their help the list would have lacked much of its 

 present completeness and accuracy. I have not mentioned here, 

 specifically, all who have assisted to greater or less extent, but 

 individual help will be found acknowledged in connection with 

 the particular specialty, and I do not consider this assistance less 

 valuable or worthy of grateful recognition because of its smaller 

 scope. 



To the members of the Newark Entomological Society, of the 

 Brooklyn Entomological Society, of the New York Entomo- 

 logical Society, of the Feldman Social and of the American 

 Entomological Society I am indebted for hearty co-operation and 

 encouragement in all phases of this work. 



In this edition the intention has again been to connect it with 

 the preceding, so that so far as possible every name in the latter 

 should be identifiable here. In most orders this has been possible ; 

 but not in all. Sometimes names are omitted without explana- 

 tion where they were recorded as only probable ; in such cases 

 the probability has for some reason become remote, and that 

 should be considered the explanation. 



Where species have been transferred from one genus to 

 another, the generic name used in the previous list is given in 

 parentheses after the specific name; but when several species in 

 succession have been so transferred, the generic name may appear 

 in parentheses only two or three times to call attention to the 

 matter and to locate the transferred names. 



In no case must the synonyms given here in parentheses or 

 following an : : sign be considered as a scientific synonymical
