The elytra are not entirely wanting in any species of our fauna, though in cei'tain foreign genera of Lampyridaj and Scarabteidaj the females are destitute both of wings and elytra. The posterior or mctathoracic pair of wings are membranous, and have but few nerves; these are so arranged in most instances.
