Mr. Ehrliorn exhibited a rubber leaf badly infested with 

 Coccus hesperiduni. Every insect showed the exit holes of a 

 Hymenopterous parasite. He was nnable to determine the para- 

 site as all had issned previous to the time the leaf had been col- 

 lected. 



Mr. Knhns exhibited specimens of the Orange aphis Myziis 

 cifricirliis Kirk, which had been preserved by heating on a tin 

 plate over a gas jet. 



Note on Echthromorpha fuscator (Fab.)* 



BY K. C. L. I'KRKIXS. 



In his pa})er "On the Ichnenmonidae of the Banksian Col- 

 lection in the British Museum," Entomologist 1909, page 136, 

 Morley refers to ''Ich. fuscator Sw. MSS. Ex. Ins. Sandwich." 

 This is doubtless that very common species of Hawaiian Pim- 

 plinae, generally known as EclitJiroviorpha rnacullpennis 

 Holnigr. There is no other Hawaiian insect of the Icheumonoid 

 group with which the Fabrician description would agree, the 

 character of red front legs and a black mark before the apices of 

 the wings being quite sufficient to distinguish it.
