pids, which had already hatched, or from which we bred no 

 imago. These would comprise some four or five species of Jas- 

 sids not mentioned in the foregoing account, the commn. 

 Tcftigoiiia albida, a Dcltoccphahis? a Phlcpsiiisf and one or 

 more Bythoscopincs being among these. No doubt the para- 

 sites attached to some of these will prove to be different from 

 those here described, and yet many other new ones remain to 

 be discovered. 



SUPPLEMENTARY NOTE. 



After completing the above account of the Stylopidae and 

 sending it to press, it occurred to me that by sacrificing the few 

 male puparia that we preserved, mature pupae of the two 

 genera Arcgalcchfhnis and Deiiiclciichits (which are character- 

 ized on females) might be obtained in such condition as to 

 allow some male characters to be determined. These puparia 

 were therefore opened and the contents examined; most of 

 them were empty, the male Stylopids having emergecl, but in 

 two cases I obtained very immature and dried up pupae of 

 Megalechthriis . No details of structure could be made out 

 sufificientlv accurately from these, but I believe the rudiments 

 of the antennae contained 7 joints, five being foliaceous, and 

 this would confirm its position in the Halictophaginae. 



From puparia of DeiiicIciicJvis I obtained no pupae, but in 

 one was a mature drv male of D. ousfralcnsis, amnlv confirminp' 

 its position in the Elenchinae and the validity of the genus. I 

 here add the generic characters of the male, and a specific 

 description. 



Deinelenchus (male char.) 



Like Elenchns in most respects e. g. in the structure of the 

 tarsi and antennae, but verv much larger, and with the second 

 antennal joint, seen from above, very short and transverse, the 

 basal one elongate. Frontal process much blunter and less 

 prominent than in ElcncJuis. As in that genus, t1i^ face is 

 deeplv excavated, but it is nuich more open, not triangular, but 

 with the sharp e(\gt of the front and sides forming a great semi- 

 circle, or rather more. The palpi are two-jointed sparsely 

 pilose, the second joint narrower than the first and in the form 

 of a curved blade. The large size and wide excavation of the 

 face of this genus renders it much easier to examine structurally
