^{page 226 note *} Since the foregoing was written, Dr. Forbes has shown me some of his figures of Coleopterous venation which very clearly indicate a aclose relationship between the Coleoptera and the Neuroptera, and he also called my attention to the fact that Fig. 72 which was based upon a figure by Handlirsch, does not accurately represent the condition of the cross veins etc., in Omma.

^{page 227 note *} The head capsule, neck plates, terga, ovipositor, etc., of certain Hymenoptera are astonishingly like those of certain Neuroptera, while the mouthparts, male genitalia, etc., of the Hymenoptera are more like those of the Coleoptera, and the same is true to some extent, of the wings.
