After preliminary observations upon the systematic value of alar 
neuration in the Insecta as a whole, the author especially discusses it as 
regards Hymenoptera^ referring also to similar work by prior entomolo- 
gists. He describes the various margins, nerves, areas, and areolets, 
giving their synonymical equivalents in a useful table, and proposes the 
following new classification for the larger groups : — 
Stirps i., Sessiliventris : Tribes (1) Serrifera^ Hal., (2) Uroce^ata, 
Latr., (3) Holonota [nov., p. 19 ; no exponents mentioned].
