PLATES. 



THE figures of some species are more or less enlarged. These are 

 shown by an asterisk affixed to their names in the explanation 

 attached to each plate. In many cases the natural size is indi- 

 cated by a line drawn against the figure of the insect itself. The 

 pages referred to are those of the boo.k on which some account 

 of each insect (or at least of the genus or family to which it 

 belongs) will be found. The species mentioned in the text are 

 generally, but not always, the same as those figured on the plates.
