The order Coleoptera may be roughly characterized as follows :—Mouthmandibulate; prothorax free and not agglutinate as in the Hymenoptera,Diptcra, and Lepidoptera ; anterior wings (elytra) horny or leathery,more often the former, as a rule united down the back by a straightsuture; posterior wings membranous, longitudinally and transverselyfolded beneath the elytra; occasionally the posterior wings are rudi-mentary, and in such cases the elytra are often soldered together alongthe suture; this often appears to be a result of the circumstances underwhich the insect lives, as occasionally a species is found with wings inone locality and without them in another.
