seen, is mainly distinguishable in the larval state by the 
ornamental colouring of the long cylindrical caterpillars, 
and by the number of the prolegs, from the preceding 
one of Beetles. 
The next order is more complicated, for under the 
head of Hynmioj^tera many families are collected. The 
larvte of almost all are worm or maggot-like and footless, 
and the mouth or jaws slightly developed. Of the nine¬

the maggots of the five containing the Ants, the solitary
