* [Owing to an error in the reproduction which could not be corrected, insects 

 Nos. 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18, especially the last, appear very much too dark in colour. They 

 should be somewhat lighter than Nos. 12 and 13 and slightly darker than the insects in 

 the next column, Nos. 19 and 20.]
