In using the terms inner and outer sides of the end segment, it is supposed, that this segment is stretched straight forwards, instead of being bent rectangularly outwards, as in its natural position; and then there can be no doubt which is the inner and outer sides. It should be observed that the evidence in this summary is of a cumulative nature. If we think it highly, or in some degree probable,--from the ordinary form of _Ibla Cumingii_ having been shown on good evidence to be exclusively female,--from the absence o
