— _4 



Me. Gibson : I would like to move a vote of thanks to Dr. F. J. White, the 

 Principal of the Normal School, for allowing us the use of the Assembly Hall last 

 evening. 



Mr, Tothill: In rising to second this motion I may say that this has been 

 one of the most enjoyable meetings of this organization. 



A PEELIMINAEY LIST OF PAEASITIC INSECTS KNOWN TO OCCUE IN 



CANADA. 



E. C. Treherne, Field Opeicee, Entomological Branch, Department op 

 I Agriculture, Ottavs^a. 



The following list of parasitic insects of some of the more common pests is 

 presented to guide entomologists in Canada in the numbers and names of parasites 

 recorded in Canada. This list does not claim to include all known parasitic insects 

 recorded in Canada, but it is hoped that as times goes on it may be supplemented by 

 additional data and become a more complete guide for reference. 



In preparing this present list the following literature has been consulted : — • 



(1) The Eeports of the Ontario Entomological Society, 1870-1914. 



(2) The Eeports of the Dominion Entomologist in the Experimental Farms 

 Eeports and separate Eeports of the Department of Agriculture of Canada, 1884- 

 1914. 



(3) The Bulletins of the Division of Entomology and the Entomological 

 Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture until the close of March, 1915. 



(4) The Annual Eeports of the Department of Agriculture, Ontario, 1880- 

 1913. 



(5) The various Agricultural and Entomological publications from Nova 

 Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and British Columbia, until the close of 1914. 



(6) The Annual Eeports of the Queibec Society for the Protection of Plants, 

 1909-1914. 



An occasional reference is made to The Canadian Entomologist, but no effort 

 has been made to include the many valuable records incorporated within the pages 

 of this journal. This will be done on a later occasion. The same applies to the 

 Proceedings of the United States National Museum, and other publications issued 

 in the United States, in which many original records of parasites named from 

 Canadian material may be found. 



As a general rule I have recorded in the following list only the names of 

 parasitic insects mentioned as definitely determined species, and further so as far as 

 possible, only records in which the host and its parasite or parasites are clearly 

 shown to be associated and to occur in Canada.
