The remaining descriptions of Walker, not quoted here, are all unidenti- 
fiable in themselves, and unrecognizable from the loss or original bad 
condition of the types. It is probable, however, that all are merely 
synonyms of species given above. A list of them is given in my paper 
cited above. 
In the following indices the number refers to the number prefixed above 
to each genus and species. The names italicized are synonyms only :—
