Braconidae : Microbracon terryi from Tephrites crassipes breeding 

 in heads of Bidens in Hawaii, and doubtless an immigrant ; Opius 

 lantanae from the undetermined Agromyzid fly of lantana-seed in 

 Hawaii ; Hedylus desideratus from various species of Dacus and 

 Ceratitis in Nigeria ; both these species and 0. lantanae may remain 

 for a considerable time dormant during the larval stage ; H. clypeatus 

 from the fruit of an unknown vine containing fruit-fly larvae in 

 Nigeria ; Alysia lusoriae from Musca lusoria breeding in cow-dung 

 near Cape Town ; Aphaereta sarcophagae from an undetermined 

 Sarcophaga breeding in human excrement near Cape Town. 



Cynipidae : Bofhrodiacis stercoraria from Musca lusoria and Lasio- 

 pyrellia cyanea near Cape Town, 



In the case of all these parasites the egg is deposited in the larva 

 and the adult emerges from the puparium of the host.

 Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera). — Proc. Hawaiian Entom. Soc, 

 Honolulu, iv, no. 1, June 1919, pp. 183-196. 



The endemic Encyrtid fauna of Hawaii is represented by five genera 

 with about twenty to twenty -five species. In addition to these about 

 eighteen genera have been introduced, probably from North America, 

 Australia, Polynesia and Oriental regions. Their exact source is not 

 known, as the majority have been unintentionally imported and pro- 

 bably gained entrance with their hosts. Their possible means of 

 introduction and aids to their establishment are discussed, the species 

 under review including : Blepyrus mexicanus, How., parasitic on 

 Pseudococcus virgatus, Ckll. : Tanaomastix abnormis, Gir., on Pseudo- 

 coccus krauhniae, Kuw., and P. virgatus ; Encyrtus infelix, Emb., on 

 Saissetia hemisphaerica, Targ. ; Aphycus alherti, How., on Coccus 

 hesperidum, L., and C. longulus, Dougl. ; Pseudococcobius terryi. 

 Full., on Pseudococcus saccharifolii, Green ; and Adelencyrtus odonas- 

 pidis, Full., on Odonaspis ruthae, Kotinsky.

 Hawaiian Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera). — Proc. Hawaiian Entom. 

 See., Honolulu, iv, no. 1, June 1919, pp. 197-231. 



The new species described include : Anagyrus nigricornis from 

 Pseudococcus lounsburyi. Brain, P. montanus, Ehrh., P. gallicola, Ehrh., 

 Ripersia palmarum, Ehrh., and experimentally from P. longispinus, 

 Targ. ; A. swezeyi from Trionymus insularis, Ehrh. ; Xanthoencyrtus 

 apterus probably parasitic on Trionymus insularis ; X. fullawayi from 

 Pseudococcus saccharifolii, Green ; Pauridia peregrina, gen. et sp. n., 

 from Pseudococcus krauhniae, Kuw. ; Encyrtus barbatus from Saissetici 

 hemisphaerica, Targ., and/S. m^rra, Nietn. ; Quaylea aliena, gen. et sp. n., 

 from Saissetia nigra, Asterolecanium pustulans, Ckll., and Coccus viridis. 

 Green, this species though parasitising various Coccids, being probably 

 a secondary parasite ; in Asterolecanium it probably attacks Tomocera 

 calif ornica, How., and in Saissetia and Coccus the attacked insect 

 may be Microterys kotinskyi, Full, and other primary parasites ; 

 Aphycamorpha araucariae, gen. et sp. n., from Eriococcus araucariae. 

 Mask. ; Anicetus annulaius from Eucalymnatus tessellatus, Sign., and 

 Saissetia hemisphaerica, Targ.
