" In this Abstract the numerals, letters, and numbers on the left of the divisions, &c. arc 

 those employed by Hiibner, and those on the right refer to the vol. and page of tliese 

 Illustrations and my Catalogue — the high numbers only to the last : it may be remarked in 

 some instances a double reference is made to the latter works ; in such cases it appears that 

 Hiibner has considered either sexes or varieties as distinct species Hiibner's numbers I 

 have adhered to, in order to exemplify the propriety of establishing the various genera 

 proposed in these Illustrations (especially amongst the larger insects), as it has been observed 

 in reference thereto, that such genera are founded upon ignorance of foreign groujjs, by 

 creating "every species into a genus, and every variety into a species"! ! By an insjjection 

 of this List it will readily be seen how far Hiibner coincides with me in the establishment of 

 genera, upon a knowledge of no less than 4198 species, European and exotic, divided into 

 1258 genera; and it may be remarked that the first indigenous genus, according to Ilubner, 

 is his 128th species. I may add, that as the following extract was made very rapidly (having 

 a very limited time to take it). 1 believe that some few species and genera are omitted, as 

 Psodos Equestrata, for i stance. 



I possess all the insects contained in the following extract, excepting such as have a -f- 

 aiinexed, and have foreign specimens of those to which a J is placed, as similarly indicated in 

 the body of tiie woik.
