The cotton boll weevil first made its appearance in Victoria

 alive u^til February 7, 1904, and pupae as late as February 14 

 (Mitchell). The following insects have been found to be ene- 

 mies of the boll weevil at Victoria: Bracon mellitor Say, the 

 most important parasite in south Texas; Catolaccus hunter i 

 Crawford, also a good parasite; Catolaccus incertus Ashmead, 

 equally good; Cerambycobius cushmani Crawford, attacking the 

 weevil in great quantities some years; Cerambycobius cyaniceps 

 Ashmead, less common; Ectatomma tuber culata Olivier, the 

 Guatemalan kelep, which was unsuccessfully introduced as a 

 predatory enemy, was first brought to Victoria; Eurytoma, 

 new species, rare; Eurytoma tylodermatis Ashmead, a valuable 

 parasite; Ilydnocera pubescens Le Conte, a rather common
