Dates of capture are distributed throughout the growing season, 

 starting a little earlier in the spring than usual for species of Coc- 

 cygomimus. Early and late dates of interest are: April 2 at Falls 

 Church, Va.; April 14 at Vienna, Va.; April 30 at Gull Lake Biological 

 Station in Kalamazoo Co., Mich.; September 11 at Ithaca, N. Y.; 

 November 10 at Arlington, Va.; and December 1 at Hattiesburg, 

 Miss. In our own collecting we have found the species in overgrown 

 fields with weeds and bushes, and at the edges of woods. This is a 

 drier and more open habitat than that of aequalis and some other 

 species, and partially explains why annulipes is more frequently a 

 parasite of Lepidoptera attacking orchard trees. 



Rearing records comprise 12 rearings or reared lots from Carpocapsa 

 pomonella, 6 from Grapholitha molesta, 1 from Gretchena bolliana, 2 from 

 Laspeyresia nigricana, 1 from Salebriaria tenebrosella, 2 from Synan- 

 thedon pictipes, and 1 from Thamnosphecia pyri. 



This species is in the Alleghanian, Carolinian, and Austroriparian 

 faunas. It occurs in open habitats such as old fields partially invaded 

 by trees and in orchards. It has been reared mostly from Lepidoptera 

 attacking orchard trees. Adults occur from rather early spring to mid 

 or late fall.
