I^OTES. 



Note 1 (p. 59). — Mr. Howard states that this Tetrastlchns has never since been bred, 

 and that the material is too poor for detcrmluatiou. April 18, 1885, 1 bred two addi- 

 tional species of parasites from the Florida Ceroplastes at Crescent City, which were de- 

 termined by Mr. Howard as (1) Coccophagns vividtis Howard (see Bulletin 5, Division of 

 Entomology, U. S. Dept. Agr., page 24, species 37) which I had previously bred from 

 Licaiiium hcsperiditm, on Orange, at Crescent City. (2) A species of J5^/ici/r<((s repre- 

 sented by one <? which was mounted in balsam and so badly crushed as to admit only 

 of a generic determination. 



Nqte 2 (pp. 69 and 77). — In looking np the saved material in order that this .species 

 might be determined, but a single crippled and inferior specimen was found, and 

 Professor Riley prefers not to describe it for the present from this unsatisfactory 

 specimen. 



Note 3 (p. 79). — This parasite was handed to Mr. Howard, who has given me the 

 following concerning it : 



" While at first glance I determined the Leptocorisa egg-parasite for you as a species 

 of Telenomiis, a more careful subsequent study, and a comparison with a number of 

 Mayr's types of this genus, show that it belongs rather to the allied genus Hadronotus 

 of Foerster. The great majority of the species of the subfamily Scelionime, to which 

 these two genera belong, are egg-x)arasites. This species may bo described as fol- 

 lows: 



"Hadronotus leptocorisa n. sp. 



"Female. — Length, 1.4""" ; expanse, 2.5""". Head and face evenly covered with small 

 round piinctures, except in the facial iini)ression, whicii is transversely striate; anten- 

 nte subclavate ; lateral ocelli nearly touching the margins of the eyes. Me.sonotum a 

 trifle smoother than the head and furnished with a very fine white pubescence. 

 First segment of the abdomen dorsally longitudinally striate; remaining segments 

 closely covered with tine round putictnres; ventral surface sparsely punctate. Color, 

 black; scape, brown ; all coxte, black; all|trochauters, femora, tibiai, and tarsi, light 

 brown ; mandibles and wing-veins, light brown. 



"Male. — Length, 1.3'""' ; exj)anse 2.b'"'". Autenuse filiform. In other characters re- 

 Bembling the 2." 



"Described from many <? and 9 specimens, bred from the eggs of Leptocorisa (ipu- 

 loides, at Crescent City, Fla., by H. G. Hubbard." 



Note 4 (p. 80). — These bugs belong to the genus Ehinacloa, but the species is un- 

 determined. 



Note 5 (p 81). — This species is so far undetermined. It is a beautiful and well- 

 marked species, the prevailing color being brown. The mesoscntum has two yellow 

 stripes converging posteriorly, the mesoscutellum is entirely yellow, the metascutel- 

 lum is marked with yellowish, and the abdomen has yellow rings. 



Just as these notes are going to press, I am able to add the following concerning 

 this species, received from Mr. Cresson : 



"The specimen arrived minus its abdomen, but judging from what is left it seems 

 to belong to the genua Hemitelea. I have looked over the material belonging to that
