Abstract
SOME years ago the Entomological Society of London commenced a “General Catalogue of the Insects of the British Isles,” of which, however, only six parts were published, between the years 1870 and 1876, as follows:—Neuroptera, by R. McLachlan; the Ephemeridæ, by Rev. A. E. Eaton; Hymenoptera Aculeata, by F. Smith; Hymenoptera: Chrysididæ, Ichneumonidæ;, Braconidæ, and Evaniidæ: by Rev. T. A. Marshall; Hymenoptera: Oxyura, by Rev. T. A. Marshall; and Hemiptera Heteroptera, and Homop-tera, by J. W. Douglas and J. Scott. No more appeared; and, of course, those already issued are now somewhat out of date, especially those on parasitic Hymenoptera, largely through the exertions of C. Morley and F. Enock. Since then, however, the Tenthredinidæ, Siricidæ, and Cynipidæ have been monographed by P. Cameron in four volumes issued by the Ray Society; leaving only the Chalcididæ, as the last family of Hymenoptera of which we had no recent compendium of the British species.
