Genus CEPHALOGLYPTA Obrtel 



Cepkaloglypta Obrtel, 1956. Zool. Listy 5: 139. 



Type-species: Cepkaloglypta excavata Obrtel. Monotypic and orig. desig. 



This genus is Palearctic; only two species are known. 



laricis Momoi. Northern Japan. Introduced in N. B. in 1973; the fact that only 29 adults were 

 released would seem to have precluded establishment. Host: C horistoneura diversana 

 (Hbn.), Ptycholomoides aeriferanus (H.-S.). The target species for the release in N. B. 

 was C horistoneura fumiferana (Clem.). 



Cephaloglypta laricis Momoi, 1963. Insecta Matsumurana 25: 104. S, 9. 

 murinanae (Franz). Europe. Introduced in Ont. in 1950, 1955, and 1956, apparently without 

 becoming established. Host: Choristoneura murinana (Hbn.). The target species for 

 releases in Ont. was C horistoneura fumiferana (Clem.).

Tribe LISSONOTANINI 



This is a very large tribe. Twenty-si.x genera were recognized by Townes (1970); ten of them 

 are represented by Nearctic species. The majority of the Nearctic species parasitize larvae of 

 Lepidoptera which conceal themselves when feeding, such as in cones, buds, stems, leaf rolls, etc 

 Drs. H. K. and M. C. Townes expect to publish a revision of the Nearctic species in 1978.
