In the vertebrated animals almost every genus has an English as well as a Latin name : but this is not the case with 

 insects, of which, comparatively speaking, very few are so distinguished. To invent appropriate English names for nearly 

 200 genera, would be no easy task ; and as they are generally known by their scientific appellations, the author thought it 

 would be better to use the Latin name, without translating it. For the convenience of those readers who wish to know 

 by what English name any old genus or species has been usually distinguished, the author has added such name to it in the 

 above Table.
