NOTES. 



The Tachinid Parasite of Cimbex Americana. — Mr. L. Bruner, in 

 the report of the Entomologist, Nebraska State Board of Agriculture, for 

 1888, has an interesting article on that notable pest Cimbex Americana 

 Leach, in which he states that although the insect is abundant in Nebraska, 

 he has failed to find that it has any parasite. Last year, however, I 

 obtained a larva of C. Americana on willow by Short Creek, Custer Co., 

 Colorado, which produced the puparium of a Tachinid parasite. In 

 " Insect Life," 1889, p. 164, we learn that Mr. Lugger has also found a 

 Tachinid parasite of the Cimbex in Minnesota, presumably the same 

 species as the Colorado one. It will be curious if it turns out that the 

 parasite is confined to high latitudes and altitudes, while its host is more 

 widely spread. T. D. A. Cockerell, West Cliff, Custer Co., Colorado.
