The Diptera have been in the past completely neglected, but it is 

 a hopeful sign for the future that this order is now being attended 

 to by two workers. 



No one has paid as yet any attention to the local Hemiptera, but 

 about 150 species exist in an unnamed condition in collections. 

 Nothing is known about the Orthoptera beyond the occurrence of 

 3 or 4 common species of general distribution. 



With the Neuroptera the Trichoptera is the only family which is 

 known to any extent; and of the Caddis-flies we have close upon 

 60 species. The other Neuropterous families are now being looked 

 after. 



To sum up: the Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and 

 Trichoptera are the only orders of which our knowledge borders 

 upon anything like completeness; and even with these we are only 

 acquainted to any extent with the species occurring more or less 

 near to the city ; the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire, many places along 

 the shores of the Firth, with the islands therein, being to a great 

 degree un worked; and with regard to the general nature of our 

 Insect fauna it may be briefly stated that it has the greatest resem- 

 blance to that of Sweden: thus of the Tenthredinidce (exclusive of 

 certain new species discovered here, and which may be ultimately 

 found in Sweden) all our species occur in Sweden, with one excep- 

 tion.
