1 58. Mesostenoideus literatus Brulle. Philippines. 



159. Mesostenoideus marginatus Brulle. Philippines. 



Fr. Castro de Elera in his " Catalogo de toda la Fauna Filipinas " 

 has incorrectedly included Mesostenus /iteralis Brulle, a species de- 

 scribed from Cuba. 



160. Pimpla punctum Brulle. Manila. 



Fr. Castro de Elera, in his " Catalogo de toda la Fauna Filipinas," 

 has included Pimpla instigator Linne, evidently through an error. 

 He records also Xylo>tomus irragator Fabr., a European species as 

 found in the Philippines, but gives no data. Another species mentioned 

 by him, Ammophia siibniosa Fabr., I cannot find mentioned in any 

 European work, treating on the Ichneuinoiiidce, nor can I find where 

 this genus was described.

 the petiole which is white, honey-yellow; eyes black; antennae reddish -brown ;
