] ON THE ENTOMOLOGY OF THE 
ON THE REMAINING ORDERS. 
Having entered fully into the consideration of Eastern Coleoptera, it is not my intention at present to 
go into lengthened details of the remaining Orders. It is sufficient to state, that in allof them there will 
be found similar and corresponding characters as in the Coleoptera. With regard to identity of species, 
I cannot help remarking, that of Lepidoptera, there appear to bea much greater number of species, 
widely disseminated throughout the world, than of any other Order. In Asia and Europe we meet 
with Papilio Machaon, Gonepteryx Rhamni; with some species of Colias and Pontia, with Vanessa 
Atalanta, and Cynthia Cardui; and to these might be added, several identical Sphingide, particularly 
Acherontia, Atropos, Deilephila, Celerio, and Sphynx. Among the Noctuidae, Geometride, Tortricide, 
and Tineidz, many species will also be found inhabitants of both continents. In the Orthoptera, some 
Gryllide are common to countries remotely situated, which may partly be accounted for by the migratory 
habits of these Insects ; and the same remarks may be applied tothe Sphingide. Among the Blattide, 
several tropical species range widely ; some of them have become naturalized even in a northern climate ; 
and it is no uncommon occurrence to find Indian, Brazilian, and New Holland, species in a high state 
of perfection alive in the houses of London; and among the Eastern Neuroptera, there occur various 
Libellulinze and Hemerobeide, closely resembling our English species. 
Among the Hymenoptera, may be noticed the universal ranger, Evania appendigaster, ever attendant 
on Blatta; some Icheumonide, Crabronide, Apida, and Vespide, all of them presenting identical 
species with those of our own country. In referring to the Diptera, I need only mention the wide 
range ‘of the Orange Fly, the same in England, India, and America; the Gnats and Mosquitoes, 
common to the four quarters of the globe, alike the pest of the Indian and Laplander ; and, lastly, 
various species of Musca, as widely dispersed as the half-domesticated sparrow of Great Britain. 
Passing by the Aptera, and the various parasites of birds, quadrupeds, and of man himself, we shall 
find also among the Hemiptera, several identical species of Pentatoma, Reduvius, Tetyra, besides 
Cimex lectularius, the scourge of all countries and climates. It does appear, then, from the above 
Analysis, that Asia and Europe have many Insects in common, and probably other parts of the world 
will eventually be found to present not only similar genera and representatives, but also the same 
identical species, subject to the modifications of climate, and other external circumstances, 
. CHARACTER or HIMALAYAN ENTOMOLOGY. 
The character of Himalayan Entomology is twofold, Asiatic and European ; and the intermingling 
of forms of temperate and tropical climes is one of its most distinguishing peculiarities. In its valleys 
(probably influenced by the heat and moisture of the jungle) southern forms predominate over northern; 
and it is not unlikely, that to the uninterrupted belts of jungle stretching along the mountain ranges, 
we may partly trace several tropical phytyvorous genera far beyond their apparent natural limits. Some 
carnivorous Insects are also found ranging far to the north in the Himalayas; an example of which is 
Anthia 6-guttata, a well-known native of the Tropics: the specimens, however, are mere dwarfs, 
compared with those of Peninsular India, a fact which may be regarded as a proof, that Anthia has 
here reached its extreme limits, and consequently will soon disappear (as is the case) and be represented 
by another type, fulfilling the same functions, only under a difference of form. The following genera 
of Himalayan Insects, selected from many others, will evince their tropical relationship. Among the 
Cicindelide, Colliuris appears; among the Carabida, we find Desera, Omphra, and Cyclosomus; 
among the Lamellicornes, Euchlora, Mimela, and Dicronocephalus; and to these may be added, 
Anisotelus belonging to Telephoride, and Podontia and Phyllocharis to the Chrysomelidz: all of 
them
