*CHARACTER NOTES 
#4. Social: implies social organisation. Insects which merely form
colonies of nests in close proximity are treated as solitary. 
#10. Most of the length data recorded here are quoted from general
accounts of the families, and accurate measurements reflecting their
British species contents have not yet been entered. However, while the
recorded ranges are unreliable in detail for identificatory purposes,
the ranges given are likely to exceed the true level of variation.
When pursuing identifications, therefore, failure to separate families
via this character should be a more likely outcome than erroneous
assignment.
