Transcription Notes:
I couldn't find Automatus alboguttatus right away as a species, but I found the words independently. So not quite sure about that one. Utilized Siobhan's sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E_Zc6xt1giFN2mfBuByQ7kpkW1_nLCcFaO_bBm8zjEE/edit#gid=426229412 and this site: https://species.nbnatlas.org :) - GigglePop!
Great job Giggles! The one you are unsure of is Automalus alboguttatus see https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1365-2311.1933.tb00404.x for a mention of this species.
Also managed to solve some of the [[?]] -
[[Canteterus?]] is Centeterus
[[Dicaelotus?]] is Dicaelotus
Unsure of [[Physalus indagator?]]
Col. Yerbuy = John William Yerbury

Added a missing species and [[space]] code as I saw on left page. Thanks for the species notes, Siobhan! :) Also changed Angitis to Angitia to match with a few pages before (lepidoptera). - GigglePop!
