Hosts: At Indian Head, Sask., rearings from Picea canadensis 

 cones yielded the lepidopteron Laspeyresia youngana (Kearfott), 

 which is presumed to be a host for this species. A single female 

 parasite was reared by L. Daviault at Berthierville, Que., from Dio- 

 ryctria reniculella (Grote), and rearings by H. A. Tripp of collections 

 from Stittsville, Ont. and Quyon, Que., from cones infested by the 

 White spruce cone maggot, Peghylemyia anthracina (Czerny), yielded 

 three female parasites.
