THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



cnrtisiana, and Conirentzia fsocifonnis nve all represented in this collec- 

 tion, and (\ pi/f/niaeus and ,S'. ciirtisiana are now brought forward as 

 British for the first time. 



I have said sufficient to show that this is a little group that might 

 well repay the serious study of British entomologists, and, as a guide 

 and help to any who may turn their energies in this direction, I have 

 added tables of the European genera and species — to some extent 

 modifications of Enderlein's tables — and rough sketches — also largely 

 drawn from Enderlein's monograph. 



I may add that the names hi/alinus and obscunoi, quoted from the 

 Dale collection, appear to be label or MS. names. 



Block of figures 1-8 has been kindly loaned by the Editors of The 

 'i'asciditiii.

Family— CONIOPTEEYGID^. 



Enderlein divides the family into two well-marked sub-families on 

 the strength of ditierences in the wing neuration as well as strong 

 morphological features.
