NOTES AND EXHIBITIONS. 
Euplectrus platyhypenae How.—Mr. Swezey exhibited all 
stages of this army-worm parasite which he was rearing on a 
large scale in the insectary, from material received from H. T. 
Osborn, collected at El Potrero, Vera Cruz, Mexico. The para- 
site lays eggs in clusters of two to fifty on the backs of cater- 
pillars. The eggs hatch in three days; the larvae finish their 
growth in four days; and the adults appear in about a week, 
so that the period from oviposition to adult is about two weeks. 
Oviposition occurs on the two army-worms, Cirphis unipuncta 
and Spodoptera mauritia, and on the garden cutworm Lycopho- 
tia margaritosa. Probably any such kind of larvae that are avail- 
able would be made use of. 
Maruca testulalis Geyer—Mr. Swezey exhibited a speci- 
men of this moth reared from a caterpillar found in a lima 
bean pod, where it was feeding on the seeds. It was found 
April 11, apparently full grown, for it spun up the next day, 
and pupated April 13, the cocoon being thin enough so that 
the pupa was readily seen. The adult issued ten days later on 
April 23. This is the same moth first reported by Mr. Swezey 
at the January meeting, reared from pea pods. 
Pseudopheliminus sp.— Mr. Timberlake exhibited a few 
specimens of an Eulophine recently discovered on Oahu. One 
male was collected by Mr. Swezey at Waialae, November 26,
