 PREFACE. 



THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a complete 

 list of all the known genera and species of DOBYLID^ 

 and THYNNID^E, including those which have been pre- 

 viously recorded, together with descriptions of such as 

 appear to be hitherto undescribed. 



The letters B.M. in the margin indicate the species 

 contained in the Collection of the British Museum.
