PTERARIA. 
InfeSls which have wings . 
Order the Second. 
TETRAPTERA. 
Thofe which have four wings. 
T H E Infeds of this order are very numerous, and have certain evident diflinc- 
tions in the ftrudure of their wings, and may thence conveniently be arranged 
under five claffes. Some of them have the external pair of wings very hard, firm, and 
L opake.
