31. Wesmaelia Rileyi Ashmead. Although the specimens, six in num- 

 ber, from which the description was drawn, were in the Riley collection 

 and the species named in honor of the possessor, they were reared by 

 me at Oxford, Ind., July 24-August 1, 1884, and sent to the U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, in whose employ I was at that time. These appeared 

 in a breeding cage in which I was rearing Toxoptrra graminum, and as 

 there was no other inhabitant of this cage, that species must have been 

 the host. This was the first time the species had been observed. It is 

 not, however, a true Wesmaelid, and represents a rare family not as yet 

 included in our lists. (Proc. I T . S. Nat. Mus., 1888, p. 641.) 



32. Pygostotus americanus Ashmead. (MS.) Reared at LaFayette, Ind., 

 Aug., 1889, from wheat stubble. As this stubble was infested by the Hes- 

 sian fly and its various parasites, including EupeJmus allynii French, and 

 as I also reared from the same lot of stubble, Acoloides howard ii Ashmead, 

 a spider parasite, Labes hyphlocylm Ashmead, Encyrtus tarsalis Ashmead, 

 an undetermined species of Bcetomus and a Homoporus sp., it is useless to 

 theorize in regard to which of these might have been the host. 



33. Encyrtus tarsalis Ashmead. (MS.) This was reared with the pre- 

 ceding, and also at LaPorte, Ind. 



34. Encyrtus brunnipennis Ashmead. i MS. I Keared from wheat stubble 

 from LaPorte, Ind., August, 1889. 



35. Atekopterus tarsalis Ashmead. Reared at LaFayette, Ind., from Sil- 

 vanus surinamensis, infesting stored grain. This had previously been reared 

 at Washington, D. C, by Mr. Ashmead, from the same insect infesting 

 raisins. (Bull. V. S. Nat. Mus., No. 45, p. 45, 1X93.) 



30. Cacus wcanthi Riley, Nov. Gen., et. sp. Reared from the eggs of 

 QZcarttlius nirens at LaFayette, Ind. This species is the type of the genus, 

 and the only one e whose parasitism is known. (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 

 No. 45., pp. 223-4, 1893.)
