NOTES ON CHALCIDLE. 115 



The conclusion of this Part contains a notice of the species of 

 Chalcidise in Madeira, omitting those which have been previously 

 enumerated. The latter will be found in the • Annals and Magazine 

 of Natural History,' 2nd ser. vol. iii., and 3rd ser. vol. i., and in the 

 previous Parts of these Notes. The following species have been 

 already described : — Spalangia nigra, Asaphes aenea, Pteromalus 

 flammifer, P. aequus, P. conspersus, P. fulviventris, Platynocheilus 

 Derceto, Aphelinus basalis, A. Asychis, Encyrtus Zetterstedti, 

 Entedon Epigonus, Eulophus Gonippus, E. Artynes, Cirrospilus 

 Diallus. The new species here noticed are nearly all closely allied to 

 the British Chalcidise, and it would not be right as yet to suppose 

 that they are peculiar to Madeira, or do not occur in the same 

 latitudes of Africa. Cleptimorpha is a remarkable form, and very 

 different from any other genus previously published.
