revises his table of the genera of this family, and makes the following altera- 
tions in it. In the first section (I.), in which the maxillae are as long as 
broad, the texture of the abdominal integument is adopted as the primary 
divisional character, and the comparative length of the legs is no longef 
employed j the genera with a horny skin on the abdomen are tabulated as in 
his fbriher table (see ^ Itecord,^ 1864, p. 320), but those with a soft abdomen 
are characterized as follows : —
