MISCELLANEOUS NOTES FROM THE ENTOMO- 

 LOGICAL SECTION. 



BY E. C. COTES, 



Deputy Superintendent, Indian Museum. 



The following figures have been prepared from time to time in the 

 EDtomological Section of the Indian Museum in illustration of insects 

 of economic importance in India. Most of the species concerned have 

 already been more or less completely discussed in the pages of these 

 NofeSj and, in now publishing figures, the intention is merely to facilitate 

 their identification. It has been thought; necessary therefore to give 

 little more than references to the pages where further particulars will be 

 found. With a few exceptions, which are noted in each ease, the fi^-ures 

 have been drawn from specimens in the Museum collection. When not 

 otherwise acknowledged the drawings are the work of Baboo G. C. 

 Chuckarbutty and other native artists from time to time employed in 

 the Entomological Section. The wood-cuts have been prepared in 

 the Government School of Art, while the photo-blocks come from the 

 Photo-lithographic Office of the Survey Department of India. 



The writer would take this opportunity to acknowledge the great 

 assistance which has been uniformly afforded to him, in the preparation 

 of the numerous numbers of Indian, Museum Notes, Notes on Economie 

 Entomology , and other official publications, both by Colonel J. Water- 

 house, to whom the Museum is chiefly indebted for some exquisite pho- 

 to-etchings, and also to Messrs. Dean and Ross, who have successively been 

 in charge of the Government Press where the reports have been printed.
