 Species of Buprestidae from Arizona (Col.). — Proc. Entom. Soc.

A key is given to the North American genera of Buprestids 

 that are comprised in the group Acmaeoderini. Paratyndaris

 stems of Coursetia microphylla is described.

 injurious to PhyUostachys (Aphididae — Hom.). — Proc. Entom. Soc. 

 Washington, B.C., xxi, no. 5, May 1919, pp. 104-106, 1 fig. 



Dryopea morrisoni, sp. n., is described from Phyllnstachys in pots, 

 where it was detected on the roots by means of the white wax secreted. 

 Only apterous forms were taken ; these had the appearance cf stem- 

 mothers, but no eggs were obtained and all reared individuals of the 

 next generation proved to be winged .

 120, 1 fig. 



Descriptions are given of three new genera, three new species and a 

 new variety of Ichnenmonids and one new Braconid : these 

 include Labrossyta rnficoxalis, sp. n., a parasite of the spruce sawfly 

 IDijmon ahietis] in Manitoba ; Hyposoter fugitivus var. pacificus, n., 

 from Washington, parasitising Malacosoma pluvialis and M. ambisimilis ; 

 and Apanteles iselyi, sp. n., a parasite of Canar.sia hammondi, Riley,

BuscK (A.). A New Species of Bucculatrix injurious to Hollyhock 



(Lep.). — Proc. Entom. Soc. Washington, xxi, no. 5, May 1919, pp. 

 109-110. 



Bucculatrix althaeae, sp. n., is described from California, where it 

 is doing considerable damage to hollyhocks by skeletonising the leaves. 

 As hollyhock is not a native plant, the normal food-plant of this moth 

 will probably prove to be some other Malvaceous plant.
