THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a list of the Specimens received by the Museum or described by Naturalists since the publication of the former Parts. The letters a, b, c, &c., after the pees denote the specimens now contained in the British Museum, followed by the habitat and the mode in which each of them was obtamed; the absence of these letters indicates the species which are desiderata for the Entomological collection.
