486 THE INSECTS OF JERSEY. 



In the list which follows I have distinguished those 

 species mentioned in Ansted and Latham's Channel Islands 

 with an asterisk. A few names have been omitted as it is 

 difficult to say to which s])ecies they refer. In conclusion, I 

 have great pleasure in acknowledging the kind assistance 

 rendered in the determination of species })v the Rev. E. N.
