84 KOTES ON CHALCIDI^E. 



Reared in October at Bombay by Dr. Leith, from blisters on the 

 parenchyma at the edges of a leaf of Duranta ; it emerged from a hole 

 in the middle of the blister, which was probably formed by the grub 

 of a dipterous or of a microlepidepterous insect. Its near relations 

 are widely spread, for it is closely allied to Antigaster mirabilis of 

 North America (the 'American Entomologist' ii. 309, f. 9a), to 

 Eupelmus bifasciatus of South Europe, and to Calosoter bifasciatus 

 of China. The name of the last species may be changed to Eupelmus 

 fascipennis ; it appears also in Borneo. Notanisus versicolor is allied 

 to this group, and especially to E. Leithi. 



The genus Chirolophus of Haliday is distinguished from the other 

 Eupelmidae by the rlabellate antenna? of the male.
