  ered. 
  In 
  the 
  Colcoptera 
  and 
  Lepidoptera 
  the 
  Hst 
  has 
  been 
  writ- 
  

   ten 
  by 
  me 
  with 
  such 
  help 
  as 
  is 
  specifically 
  acknowledged, 
  except 
  

   that 
  the 
  Microlepidoptera 
  are 
  almost 
  entirely 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  Mr. 
  

   W. 
  D. 
  Kearfott. 
  In 
  the 
  Hymenoptera 
  Mr. 
  Henry 
  L. 
  Viereck 
  is 
  

   responsible 
  for 
  the 
  present 
  general 
  arrangement, 
  the 
  gall-flies 
  

   and 
  ants 
  being 
  written 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Beutenmuller 
  and 
  Dr. 
  Wm. 
  M. 
  

   Wheeler, 
  respectively. 
  The 
  Diptera 
  are 
  again 
  listed 
  by 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  

   W. 
  Johnson 
  except 
  for 
  the 
  gall-midges, 
  which 
  were 
  done 
  by 
  Mr. 
  

   Beutenmuller, 
  and 
  the 
  mosquitoes, 
  which 
  were 
  written 
  by 
  Mr. 
  

   John 
  A. 
  Grossbeck. 
  To 
  all 
  these 
  gentlemen 
  especial 
  thanks 
  are 
  

   due, 
  for 
  without 
  their 
  help 
  the 
  list 
  would 
  have 
  lacked 
  much 
  of 
  its 
  

   present 
  completeness 
  and 
  accuracy. 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  mentioned 
  here, 
  

   specifically, 
  all 
  wdio 
  have 
  assisted 
  to 
  greater 
  or 
  less 
  extent, 
  but 
  

   individual 
  help 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  acknowledged 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  

   the 
  particular 
  specialty, 
  and 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  consider 
  this 
  assistance 
  less 
  

   valuable 
  or 
  worthy 
  of 
  grateful 
  recognition 
  because 
  of 
  its 
  smaller 
  

   scope. 
  

  

  To 
  the 
  members 
  of 
  the 
  Newark 
  Entomological 
  Society, 
  of 
  the 
  

   Brooklyn 
  Entomological 
  Society, 
  of 
  the 
  New 
  York 
  Entomo- 
  

   logical 
  Society, 
  of 
  the 
  Feldman 
  Social 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  American 
  

   Entomological 
  Society 
  I 
  am 
  indebted 
  for 
  hearty 
  co-operation 
  and 
  

   encouragement 
  in 
  all 
  phases 
  of 
  this 
  work. 
  

  

  In 
  this 
  edition 
  the 
  intention 
  has 
  again 
  been 
  to 
  connect 
  it 
  with 
  

   the 
  preceding, 
  so 
  that 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  possible 
  every 
  name 
  in 
  the 
  latter 
  

   should 
  be 
  identifiable 
  here. 
  In 
  most 
  orders 
  this 
  has 
  been 
  possible; 
  

   but 
  not 
  in 
  all. 
  Sometimes 
  names 
  are 
  omitted 
  without 
  explana- 
  

   tion 
  where 
  they 
  were 
  recorded 
  as 
  only 
  probable; 
  in 
  such 
  cases 
  

   the 
  probability 
  has 
  for 
  some 
  reason 
  become 
  remote, 
  and 
  that 
  

   should 
  be 
  considered 
  the 
  explanation. 
  

  

  Where 
  species 
  have 
  been 
  transferred 
  from 
  one 
  genus 
  to 
  

   another, 
  the 
  generic 
  name 
  used 
  in 
  the 
  previous 
  list 
  is 
  given 
  in 
  

   parentheses 
  after 
  the 
  specific 
  name; 
  but 
  when 
  several 
  species 
  in 
  

   succession 
  have 
  been 
  so 
  transferred, 
  the 
  generic 
  name 
  may 
  appear 
  

   in 
  parentheses 
  only 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  times 
  to 
  call 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  

   matter 
  and 
  to 
  locate 
  the 
  transferred 
  names. 
  

  

  In 
  no 
  case 
  must 
  the 
  synonyms 
  given 
  here 
  in 
  parentheses 
  or 
  

   following 
  an 
  = 
  sign 
  be 
  considered 
  as 
  a 
  scientific 
  synonymical
