7. i. The Myrmicini proper are defined by Forel as having the antennaeinserted near the middle, a little behind the front, of the head, which has carinae on the inner sides, but none on the outer sides, of the insertions of the antennae; the clype...
8. ii. The group Attini is distinguished by the presence of a carina near theeye, by the antennae being inserted at a moderate distance from one another, by the clypeus being prolonged backwards between them; and by the absence of a sting. The group is n...
9. iv. The Cryptocerini are distinguished from other ants by their antennaebeing inserted at the sides of the head, where they are placed between ridges or in a groove into which they can be withdrawn; when in some cases they are entirely concealed. Th...
10. i. The Coprides form an immense group of about 5000 species; they differsomewhat in habits from other Lamellicorns, inasmuch as most of them live on dung, or decaying animal matter; the sub-family connects with the Lucanidae, so far as superficial c...
11. iv. The Dynastides are the smallest division in number of species, therebeing scarcely 1000 known; but amongst them we find in the genera _Dynastes_ and _Megasoma_ some of the largest of existing Insects. The horns and projections on the heads and p...
12. v. The Cetoniides are renowned for the beauty of their colours and theelegance of their forms; hence they are a favourite group, and about 1600 species have been catalogued. They are specially fond of warm regions, but it is a peculiarity of the s...
13. ii. The Camptosomes, as we have already noticed, are distinguished by apeculiar structure of the abdomen. This character appears to be connected with a very remarkable habit, viz. the formation of a case to envelop the egg. The tip of the abdomen i...
14. iii. The division Cyclica includes the great majority of Chryomelidae; wehave not less than 170 species in Britain. The larvae live, like those of Lepidoptera, at the expense of foliage, and the species frequently multiply to such an extent as to be...
15. iv. The Cryptostomes, though comparatively few in number of species,include some very remarkable beetles. There are two groups, Hispides and Cassidides. The former are almost peculiar to the tropics and are not represented by any species in the...
