f The numbers in brackets correspond wiih those on the insects in Kirby's 

 Collection, and also with the numbering of the species in the MSS. 



X Each section of the Sleni is preceded in the IMSS.by a slip bearing the names 

 of the species whicii it contains, but sometimes the names in the Index do not cor- 

 respond with ihose heading the desciipiions. for it appears that at some subsequent 

 period particular species were identified by Kirby with the descriptions published 

 by other authors. Thus, in ihe present instance, we find added toother synonyms 

 (and subsetjuently inserted), " St. J into, Grav." — the name adopted in the Index. 

 It may here be stated, that the numbering of the species recommences with each 

 section, and hence, in consulting Kirby's Collection (the specimens in which are 

 numbered to correspond with this MSS ), it is highly important that the sectional 

 characters of the specimens be attended to.
