HowAED (L. 0.). On the Hymenopterous Parasites of Kermes (Homop., 

 Coccidae). — Entom. Neas, Philadelphia, xxx, no. 9, November 

 1919, pp. 255-259. 



Reference is made to a previous paper giving much information on 

 Ev.clemensia bassettella, Clemens, a parasite of Kermes [R.A.E., A, 

 vji, 263]. The following list is given of Hymenopterous parasites of 

 Kertnes, compiled from the records and bred specimens in the Bureau 

 of Entomology and the National Museum and from the literature, the 

 localities being from the United States unless otherwise stated : 

 Aenasioidea Icermicola, Timb., from Kermes gallifonms, Riley, and 

 K. essigi, King ; A. latiscajyus, Gir., from K. 2)ubescens ; Aenasioidea 

 (A]]hycvs) jndchella, How. ; A. tenuicornis, Timb., from A', miyasakii^ 

 Kuw., in Japan ; Blastothrix longipennnis, How., from K. pubescens, 

 Bogue, in Canada ; Chiloneurus lineascapus, Gah., C. dubius, How., 

 and C. cushmani, Cwfd.; Comys, sp. n., from K. nigroputictatus, V>^hiit. ; 

 Corny s sp. (probably fusca) ; Cristatithorax pulcJier, Gir., from 

 K. ]mbescens ; Enajrtus sp. ; Microterys speciosissimus, Gir., and 

 M. cincticornis, Ashm., from K. pubescens; Coccophagus, sp. n., from 

 /{. quercus {undulaia) ; C. scutatus, How., from K. nigropundatus ; 

 Myioaiema cotnperei, Ashm., from K. acaciae, Mask., in New South 

 Wales ; Prosp)alteUa citrella, How., from K. quercus ; Gyrolasia sp.^ 

 and (?) Pachyneuron micans, How., from K. pubescens. 



A list is also given of rearings by Giraud published in 1877, in which 

 the identification of the hosts as Kertnes is open to doubt, judging from 

 the food-plants on which they occurred. True species of Kermes are 

 found only upon oak, whereas the plants in the French list include a 

 variety of genera. 



A note by Mr. Harold Morrison is appended in which the probable 

 identity of the dift'erent scale-insects classed as Kermes in Giraud's 

 list is given.
