THE GENERAL SUBJECT.

The development of the Nematus, and probably of all the Tenthredinidce, 
accords in the main features with that of the honey-bee ; that of Pw/ex with 
Chiron&mus and SimuUum, and of the Attelahus, Gastrojjhysa, and Mysia with 
Donacia. The Telephorus dilFers from all other Coleoptera the early stages of 
which are known, in the primitive band floating in the centre of the yelk, in- 
stead of surrounding it. As a whole, the mode of development (except in the 
Telephorus, which resembles the Hemiptera and Lihellulidcs) is nearly iden- 
tical in the Coleoptera with that of the Diptera and Hymenoptera, The 
Chrysopa does not difi*er essentially from the Lihellididce. There is remark- 
able uniformity in the mode of development in the Hexapoda, as much as in 
the decapodous Crustacea ; but embryological characters can scarcely be 
defined, even for suborders. If found, they will probably be in the advanced 
embryo.
