ON THE HYMENOPTEROUS PARASITES OF COCCID^. 

 By Claude Morley, F.Z.S., F.E.S. 



(Continued from p. 64.) 



68. Kcrmcs ilicis, Linn,* 

 No one has recorded parasites from this species since Fons- 

 colombe gave his account (Ann. Soc. France, 1832, p. 297, 

 quoted by Nees, ii. 427): "E. cocco Ilicis tinctoriae, Junio mense, 

 quo tempore colligitur, observante D. Fontanier, occitano." 



69. Asterodiaspis variolosum, Ratz. 

 Hahrolepis (Encyrtus) dalmanni, Westw. {nuhilipennis, Walk.) 

 has been bred from the synonymous Lecaiiium quercicola, Bch^., 

 both in Europe (Wachtl, Wien Ent. Zeit. 1882, p. 298) and 

 America (Ashmead, 1900, p. 404). 



70. Dactylopius. 

 Several parasites are said by Ashmead (1900) to have emerged 

 from unknown species of this genus. These are : — eleven 

 Coccophoctonus dactylopii, Ashm., of both sexes, bred in Australia 

 in Sept. 1894 by Albert Koebele (p. 375) ; Aphycus angelicus, 

 How., bred from a species on passion flower in N. America, and 

 A. australiensis, How., bred in Australia from another on 

 eucalyptus (p. 384) ; Tetracnemoidea australiensis, How., from a 

 species on Pittsporum (p. 357) ; Aphycus nigritus, How., bred in 

 California from a species on Artemisia (p. 387) ; and Chrysoplaty- 

 cerus splendens, How., from a species from the same locality. 



71. Dactylopius destructor, Comst.* 

 From this pest have been raised Coccophagus fiavoscutelluin, 

 Ashm. (Revis. Aphel. N. Amer. 1895, p. 36); Chiloneurus dacty- 

 lopii. How. (Descr. N. Amer. dial. 1885, p. 17) ; Encyrtus in- 

 quisitor, How. (Report Ent. U. S. Agric. 1881, p. 367) ; Lep)to- 

 mastix dactolopii, How. (Descr. p. 23). E. inquisitor is placed in 

 the genus Zarhopalus by Ashmead (1900, p. 406). 



72. Dactylopius ephcdne, Coquil.* 

 Signiphora dactylopii, Ashm., is recorded from this species 

 by its author in Northern America (Ashm. 1900, p. 410). 



73. Dactylopius vastator, Mask.* 

 In Hongkong Aphycus dactylopii, How., has been raised 

 from this species {I. c. p. 385). 



74. Dactylopius virgatus, Ckll.* 

 Ashmead tells us {I.e. p. 373) that Blepyrus texanus, How., 

 has been bred in Texas from this species, together with (p. 388) 

 Aphycus texanus, How.
