The concluding part of this work, edited by G. A. Six, includes (Ik! 
title-page and index. The five last plates represent ichneumonidev, Uni- 
conidoi, and Froctotrypidoiy but the text consists only of general remarks 
on the genera. The death of the author having left the work unfinishe«l, 
the number of species figured in the whole work is as follows : — Ichneu- 
monidea 242, Braconidea 51, Chalcidea 9, Fteromalidea 15, and Frocto- 
trypidea 53, in all 370. 
The wings of Hymenoptera are folded in the pupa, and when the per- 
fect insect is developed, the folds disappear, but their position can be 
determined by the thinness of the chitinous covering, and the scantiness 
of the hairy covering along the lines. Breitenbach, Zool. Anz. iii. pp. 522
