In dem speziellen Theile sind die Gattungen in einer analytischen Tabelle 

 charakterisirt, sowie am gehörigen Orte ausführlicher beschrieben; von den 

 Arten sind auch bei jeder Gattung analytische Tabellen entworfen; eine aus- 

 führlichere Beschreibung ist aber nur den neuen zu Theil geworden. Im Ganzen 

 sind aus der Familie 200 Arten aufgeführt. Ich werde diese Abhandlung
