The parasitic Hymenoptera bred from Rhyacionia (Evetria) buoliana, 

 S3hiff. (pine-shoot moth) include Pimpla buolianae, Htg., P. rvficollis, 

 Grv., P. examinator, F., P. alternans, F., P. tnrionellae, L., P. brevi- 

 cornis, Grv., P. inquisitor, Sc, and P. sagax, Htg. ; Glypta resinana, 

 Htg. ; Lissonota folii, Ths., L. buolianae, Htg., L. humerella, Ths. (it 

 i? considered that the two first-named species ' of Lissonota, and 

 L transversa, Bridgm., are one species, for which the name L. buolianae 

 should have priority) ; Eulimneria crassifemur, Ths. (probably 

 ilentical with Campoplex lineolatus, Bch ) ; Omorgus ramidulus, 

 Brischke ; Cremastus confluens, Grv. {C. interruptor, Grv., recorded 

 by Ratzeburg as a parasite of R. buoliana in Germany, is probably the 

 same species); Pristomerus vulnerator, Panz., and the Braconid, 

 Orgilus obscurator, Nees. A new Chalcid, Perilampus batavus, 

 parasitic on this moth, is also recorded, but not described.

In the summer of 1916 and 1917 large numbers of Stephanitis 

 pyrioides, Scott, appeared on azaleas in the neighbourhood of Zurich. 

 The larva and imago attack the underside of the leaves, causing 

 rusty spots and in severe cases the fall of the foliage. An allied 

 Tingid, S. pyri, L., sucks the leaves of apple and pear trees. It is 

 found in the canton of Tessin, but not as yet in Northern Switzerland. 

 la the case of both species, the winter is passed in the egg-stage. 

 A new Cecidomyid, a species of Dasyneura, is reported as causing 

 malformation of the ends of the shoots of Arabis albida in Zurich, 

 and Monarthropalpus buxi. Lab., mines in the young leaves of Buxus 

 sempervirens, sometimes appearing in great numbers in North-East 

 Switzerland.

This Chalcid parasite was discovered at Tillenay (Cote d'Or) in 



Jime 1914 in asparagus fields infested with Crioceris asparagi, and 



this appears to be the first record of its occurrence in Europe, it 



having been originally described from the United States [see this 



Review, Ser. A, i, p. 15].
