the larva of any order other than Lepidoptera, and it is very doubt- 

 ful if parasitism by Apanteles extends to other orders. 



There are in the National Collection, besides the type series, six 

 specimens of this species, three of which were taken at Castle Rock, 

 Delaware ; the remaining three are without locality labels, but were 

 doubtless collected in Illinois, since all three specimens bear Illinois 

 numbers. The writer has also seen several male specimens in the 

 collection of Cornell University, which were collected at Ithaca and 

 McLean, New York. In the same collection are two males, collected 

 at Truro, Nova Scotia, by Dr. R. Matheson, in July, 1913. The 

 female of this species is unknown.

 Apanteles (Apanteles) pequodorum Viereck, Bull. 22, Connecticut State 



Geol. and Nat. Hist. Survey, 1916, pp. 190, 198. 



Habitat. — Connecticut. 



Host. — Unknown. 



Known only from the types in the Connecticut Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station, at New Haven, Connecticut, and one paratype 

 in the United States National Museum. 



After a careful study of the types of miantonornoi and 'pequo- 

 dorum the writer is convinced that they represent the same species.

Ilahitat. — Connecticut. 



//os^.— Recorded as bred from pupae of the cabbage butterfly; 

 but, since the species of Apanteles are evidently exclusively parasitic 

 on the larvae stage of their hosts, this record is open to doubt. 



The species is known to the writer only from the type in the Con- 

 necticut Agricultural Experiment Station and a single paratype 

 in the United States National Museum.
