Type locality. — Central Java. 



Type.—QQ.i. No. 29444, U.S.N.M. 



Described from four females. The holotypo and two j)aratype 

 specimens were received by the writer from C. T. Brues of the Bus- 

 sQy Institution to whom t\\(ij had been sent for determination by 

 S. Leefmans of Buitenzorg, Java. These specimens are labeled 

 "E-VII-EE." A letter from Doctor Leefmans says that the species 

 has been reared from Brachartona catoxantha Hampson material both 

 as a primary and as a secondary parasite. As a primary parasite it is 

 said to be ectoparasitic upon the prepupal larvae or the pupae of 

 Bracliartona. As a secondary it has emerged from the puparia of 

 Degeeria alhiceps Macquart and Ptychomyia remota Aldrich and from 

 cocoons of Apanteles species aud an unidentified Ichneumonid . Boro- 

 boedoer, Dogatien, vSalaman, Krogosingan, Kloemprit, Pakisredjo, 

 Redjoso, Sleman, and Poendoeng are mentioned by Leefmans as local- 

 ities in which the species has been taken. The exact locality aod
