Additions to the Hymenoptera of Jamaica. 



By T. D. A. COCKERELL. 



Having just prepared a list of the Hymenoptera of this island, 

 I find I have notes on a few species apparently not yet recorded, 

 as follows: i. Catolaccus sp. [L. O. Howard]; Kingston. 2. Co- 

 thonaspis sp. [L. O. Howard]; Kingston. 3. Cyrtogaster sp. 

 [C. V. Riley]; bred from cocoons of Apanteles found by Mr. 

 Fawcett at Cinchona. This is the insect doubtfully referred to 

 Lamprostylus in In. Inst. la., 1892, p. 43. 4. Dorymyrni, i 

 pyramicus Rog. [Riley]; at flowers of fennel, Mandeville; and 

 on corn (Zea} in Kingston. 5. Ectatomma {Holcoponera} coii- 

 centricumMayr., [E. Andre]; Moneagne. 6. Holcopelte sp. [L. 

 O. Howard]; a green species with white legs, bred by Mr. J. J. 

 Bowrey from cocoons of Apanteles. 7. ] .ami (Notogonia] tri- 

 fasciata Sin. [W. J. Fox]; Kingston, given to me by Mr. L. M. 

 Lynch, who informed me that it had stung a lady, who was there- 

 upon taken severely ill. Dr. Phillippi attended the case. I sup- 

 pose this is an instance of idiosyncrasy, comparable to many
