8 CONNECTICUT GEOL. AND NAT. HIST. SURVEY. [Bull. 



synonyms are given, except where a different specific or 

 generic name occurs in the work cited. 



The arrangement of the orders, families, and genera is 

 from the lowest to the highest, and in this respect is opposite 

 to that of Dyar's List of Lepidoptera and Blatchley's Coleop- 

 tera of Indiana, but coincides with Aldrich's List of Diptera 

 and Calvert's List of Odonata. These works have all been 

 followed except where they have been shown to be in error 

 or where new or additional genera and species were included. 

 For convenient reference the species have been arranged al- 

 phabetically. 



I wish to acknowledge here my obligations to the follow- 

 ing collectors and specialists for furnishing records and iden- 

 tifying species listed in this work.
