The following table for determining the families of the Hymen- optera has been compiled from the works of several writers on this order, and is merely provisional. It, however, will enable the student to determine the larger and more common forms; and in the present state of our knowledge the study of the minute Hymenoptera is too difficult for the beginner. TABLE FOR DETERMINING THE FAMILIES OF THE HYMENOPTERA, A. Trochanters of the posterior legs, consisting each of two segments (Fig. 737, b) ; caudal end of body in the female furnished with a saw or borer for depositing the eggs. (Suborder Terebrantia.) B. Abdomen joined broadly to the thorax. C. Anterior tibiae with two apical spurs ; abdomen of female fur- nished with a pair of saws. p. 611 Tenthredinid^. CC. Anterior tibise with one apical spur ; abdomen of female fur- nished with a borer, p. 614 Siricid^e. BB. Base of abdomen constricted. C. Abdomen joined to the dorsal aspect of the metathorax. p. 626. EVANIID^. CC. Insertion of the abdomen normal. D. Fore wings with no closed cells.* * In a few Proctotrupidae the wings have one or more closed Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Comstock, John Henry, 1849-1931; Comstock, Anna Botsford, 1854-1930. joint author.
