94 THE entomologist's record. 



July 10th. On July 18th a single specimen was dug up in a nest of 

 L. niijey subsp. alieuKs, in the same locality. It is evidently parasitic 

 on many species of ants. Cobelli"" records another species, P. 

 creiiipii, de Rom., with L. fiili<iinosus, as was also recorded by Giraud.""" 

 It has not been found in Britain, but may occur. 



PROCTOTRUPID^. 



Lo.mtrojia (hniistJiorpei, Kieffer. — This small new species, which 

 possesses very short wings, was found in some numbers in a nest of 

 L. ilanis at Blankgang Chine, on September 9th. They appeared to 

 be quite at home among the ants. 



Baeits seiiihiiduiii, KaAiday. — J J and 2 $ of this little species were 

 bred on May 27th and June 7th and 8th in a bowl which contained a 

 small colony of /''. rtifa and debris from their nest brought from 

 Nethy Bridge in May. Only the ? , which is apterous, was known to 

 Haliday, and lean find no British records of the S- , which is winged. 



Ceraphron iiiyniiecop/iiliis, Kieffer. — ^ ^ and ? 2 of this new 

 species were bred in the bowl described above on June 12th, 14th 

 and 28rd. In this species also the 3- is winged and the ? apterous. 



Professor Kieft'er, who has kindly named these species for me, has 

 also sent me the names of some captures in 1911. 



Exalonyx ica.vnanni var. sociabilis, Kieffer. — Two specimens taken in 

 a nest of L. fiili(/inosus at Darenth Wood, May 26tb, 1911. The type 

 was taken by me" with the same ant at Wellington College in 

 September, 1907. 



Aiiihlyaspis sp. ? (" nom plus tard " K.). — With L. fnlit/inosus^ 

 Darenth"Wood, May 26th, 1911. 



CYNIPID^. 



Kleditoum formicaria, Kieli'er. — ^ g and ? 2 of this new species 

 were bred in the ritfa bowl mentioned above on June 19th, 21st and 

 26th, 



HETEROPTERA. 



Allydus calcaratiis, L. — Early stages of this bug were found 

 running about with ants {F. xanfiuinea, F. rtifa, F. fusca, L. fiauns, etc.) 

 at Weybridge, on July 10th. The resemblance of the bugs to the ants 

 was very remarkable. 



COLLEMBOLA. 



Cyphoileirua [Beckia) albinus, Nic, was observed with Tapinoiiia 

 erraticum, at Woking, on May 12th ; with F. sanyuinea at Wellington 

 College, on April 17th ; in an incipient colony of F. fKHcax&v. ylebaria, 

 New Forest, July 22nd ; with F. fusca var. fitsco-riijibarbis, L. alienus, 

 M. scahrinodis var. sabuleti, and T. caespitum at Seaton, Devon,
