EXPLANATION OF PLATE VI. 



[The photographs have been made by E. Wasniaun on Silber-Eosin- 

 platten {" Obeiuetter"). As the specimens are mounted on white card, 

 shades and false retlexes are inevitable ; some of them, moreover, are in 

 imperfect condition. Nevertheless, these photographs will be an im- 

 portant help for the recognition of the types.] 



All figures are magnified 10 : 1, except fig. 2, which is 13 : 1.
