INDEX. 
In this index, two main objects are considered ; first the indexing of 
all genera, so that anyone getting an insect identified as say Dindymus 
concolor , can find where Dindymus should be placed ; second, topics dis¬ 
cussed in any detail, such as “ Sex’ 5 or r ‘Silk 55 are indexed, so that the 
interlude can be readily found. The index does not go beyond this, as 
the book is primarily an account of. families in definite order, which can be 
readily found, and the possible index heads turning up in the text are of no 
importance. Every family, sub-family and genus is indexed, but only for 
its systematic place and genera mentioned in interludes are not indexed. 
All sub-families have been omitted in cases where the next entry on the 
index is the genus from which the sub-family takes its name, and both have 
the same page reference. Thus of “Bostrychidae, 313,” “Bostrychinse 316,” 
and “Bostrychus, 316,” the second has been struck out. All references are 
to pages if in Arabic numerals, to plate if in Roman figures.
