•■^56 THE ektomolo(;ist's RECOUI). 



Wesmael, though Eupalajinis, (,'liasmias (for which the preoccupied 

 name ('hasmodrs, is claimed), h'risticiis, and various species of 

 A))ibli/t(ies, are here included. We shall look forward with interest to 

 the promised elucidation of the I'liai'iii/fui/lrs, and trust that Dr. 

 Schmiedeknecht will not, like Berttonmien, overlook Professor 

 Thomson's invaluahle work on this much nesrlected tribe, the males of 

 which are, at present, so difficult of discrimination. We feel that the 

 students of these economically beneficial parasites — the Ichneumonida>, 

 sensii stricto — will at length have some periodical to look forward to, 

 which, in view of their scanty numbers, is all they can expect, and thi.s 

 could hardly be said of Pastor Konow's " Zeitsch. fiir syst. ilyuieii. 

 and Dip.," the major part of which was occupied by Diptera and the 

 x^culeata, not to mention the editor's work on saw-flies. A venture 

 like Dr. Schmiedeknecht's needs nothing but subscribers to ensure 

 success, and we trust that these will, though far to seek and far 

 between, suffice to the propagation of his work. — C. M. 



Erratum. — Goniodojia limoniella.— In a note of mine published Ent. Bee, 

 xiii., p. 303, I refeired to the breeding of Goiiuxhmui iiiiru()vttella from plants of 

 Staticc. This .species seems to have been described as G. limoiticlhi. Mv attention 

 has recently been called to this oversight bj Mr. Bankes, so I now take the 

 opportunity of correcting the error. — F. G. Whittle, 3, Marine Avenue, Southend.

Errata. — Page 268, line 41, for '-birch" read ''beech."' Page 271, line Ifi, 

 or '' Eputuld nigra " read " t'lo^tera pigra."
