Of the Htmenopteea I find 393 in the British Museum Catalogues, 

 in which, however, some of the largest families such as Ichneumonidae are 

 wanting. In the Zoological Eecord 277 additional species are noticed. 

 Probably about 150 to 200 other forms are known and the number of 

 described species may be estimated at 850. 



I am indebted to Mr. F. Moore, who has probably a more extensive 

 knowledge of Indian Lepidoptera, and especially of the moths, than any 

 other naturalist, for an estimate of the number of described species of 

 Heteroceka. The following is the result : 



Sphinges, 225 



Bombyces, 1150 



Noctues y 1150
