Obs The details are lettered alike throughout with the initials 
of their respective names, h, head ; a, antennas ; m, mandibles ; mx, 
maxillae ; m, p, maxillary palpus; /, 1, upper lip (labrum;) /, 2, 
under lip (labium ;) c/, clypeus ; ch, chin (mentum ;) /, p, labial 
palpi ; sc, scutellum ; t, tarsus ;/. 1. 2. 3. 1st, 2d, or 3d leg; (T.) 1,
