Superfamily ICHNEUMONOIDEA 625 



caradrinae (Viereck), n. comb. Southeastern Colo. Host: Spodoptera exigua (Hbn.)? Known to 

 me only from the holotype and one other specimen, the former labeled as reared from S. 

 exigua (as "Caradrina exigua") collected at Rocky Ford, Colo. The host record is 

 queried because S. exigua is a much reared species, and it seems to me, therefore, that 

 caradrinae may have been reared from some other noctuid which was misidentified as 

 exigua.

 rufifemur (Thomson). Eurasia. Introduced in Ont. in 1935 and 1955 through 1958; none of the 

 suspected recoveries have been confirmed by identification of reared adult specimens 

 (see Syme, 1971). Host: Rhyacionia buoliana (D. and S.). The host cited was the target 

 species for releases of nififemur in Ont.

 of Psorosina hammondi and Acleris minuta (the hosts of type-specimens of synonyms 

 cited below), I have listed only hosts from labels of specimens which I have identified as 

 validus. Some of the host records reported in the literature pertain to misidentified 

 specimens in the U. S. Natl. Museum collection.
