Remarks. — The material examined consisted of the male type 

 reared from Vanessa cardui; the male type of the var. proserpina 

 YVilliston, reared from Erynnis brizo; the female reared from 

 Isturgia truncataria and erroneously selected by Aldrich and Webber 

 as the type of boarmiae Coquillett; 401 reared specimens bearing 

 Gypsy Moth Laboratory numbers; one female reared from Cingilia 

 catenaria (Dimmock No. 934) ; one female reared from larva on 

 Comptonia peregrina (Linnaeus) Coulter {Myrica asplenifolia

 Acrobasis comptoniella) ; collected specimens, five males and eight 

 females (Townsend, Mann, Riley, and Dyar).

 Exorista boarmiae the second spiracular entrance from the bottom 

 is rather long. In the Zenillia blanda puparia studied in 1930, this 

 entrance did not seem to be constantly longer than the one immedi- 

 ately above it; the spiracular entrances were simpler and less con- 

 voluted. 



Adults, June to October; number per host, usually one; genera- 

 tions, one or two; hibernation, as larva in host pupa. An interesting- 

 observation that indicated the limiting factor controlling the number 

 of generations per year for this species and Zenillia virilis was as 

 follows: If parasitic on hosts producing adults the same season, 

 the parasites completed their development that season; but if para-
