* I am sorry I am unable to give a key to the twelve last species above given. The first seven run into each 
other take what distinguishing character you may, the other five are, I believe, quite distinct. The key below 
will suffice to distinguish the latter from one another, but I fear it is insufficient to distinguish them from all 
specimens, from all localities, where the first seven occur, though I believe these five species to be perfectly good
