[29] This insect belonged to the late Mr. Francillon, and was purchased at his sale by Mr. MacLeay. Mr. W. S. MacLeay informs us that he has given the name of Eusceles to the group to which it belongs.

[30] Raphidia ophiopsis.

[31] This idea seems to have been present to the mind of Linné and Fabricius, when they gave to insects such names as Belzebub, Belial, Titan, Typhon, Nimrod, Geryon, and the like.
