ANOTHER CHALCIDOID PARASITE OF A TICK. 



BY L. O. HOWARD, WASHINGTON, D. C. 



It will be remembered that in Entomological News for November, 

 1907 (pp. 375-378, fig. T, plate XIV), the writer announced the unique 

 breeding of a Chalcidoid parasite of the Ixodid, LLcemaphysalis leporis- 

 pahist7-is, collected by Mr. J. D. Mitchell, of Victoria, Texas, on a 

 cotton-tail rabbit in Jackson County, Texas, and that the genus 

 Ixodiphagus was erected for this species, which was called /. Texanus. 

 It is now his pleasure to announce that another Chalcidoid has been 

 reared from an Ixodid under conditions that leave no doubt as to the 

 parasitic relation already so well established in the case of Ixodiphagus. 



April 20, 1908, Mr. H. P. Wood collected numerous specimens of 

 a brown tick from a small Mexican dog at Corpus Christi, and sent them 

 to the Dallas Laboratory of the Bureau of Entomology. This tick proved 

 to be Rhipicephalus Texamis., Banks, recently described in Mr. Banks's 

 Revision of the Ixodoidea, or Ticks, of the United States, Technical 

 Series No. 15, Bureau of Entomology of the U. S. Department of Agri- 

 culture, issued June 6, 1908. The ticks were placed in charge of Mr. W. 

 A. Hooker, of the Dallas Laboratory, who informs the writer that among 

 them there were thirteen engorged nymphs and several slightly engorged 

 adults. Mr. Hooker further states that the adults were placed in tubes
