The <^euus is a connecting link between Tkcretin and Cac/ienona, and is ilself 

 connected with, Tlieretm by Tli. <Mslane<i and jinllirosta. Some of the species 

 resemble each' other rather closely ; bnl there is really no great difficulty in 

 distinguishing' them, if one has onee grasped the essentia] characters. The 

 ditferenees in the palpi, which we illustrate by some figures, will, we ho|)e, conviuce 

 even the most eontirnied Inmpcr of the distinctness of the insects.
