HYMENOPTERA BRED FROM CYNIPS KOLLARI GALLS. Lal fs) 
from variable hosts; e.g., Orgyia pudibunda, Lasiocampa pini, 
Psyche sp., Tortrix viridana, and other Tortrices; Yponomeuta 
padella, H. cognatella, Cerostoma costella, Gelechia albipalpella, 
Coleophora coracipennella, C. therinella, C. anatipennella, and 
other Tinee ; Hedobia imperialis, Anthrenus museorum, and several 
other Coleoptera; Lophyrus pint and L. variegatus among the 
sawflies. In some instances this species, like others of its genus, 
has been proved to be hyperparasitic, and from the above list it is 
to be inferred that such is always the case. Its immediate victims 
are other Ichneumonide, probably of the genera Cryptus, 
Phygadeuon, or Microgaster. H. areator, has previously been bred 
from the galls of C. Kollari (Entom. ix. 58), and from the common 
oak apple of Andricus terminalis (Entom. ix. 35). Other species 
of Hemiteles have been bred from spiders’ eggs, and one, 
H. mandibulator, Duf., is said to be a common parasite of Crabro 
rubicola. 
Hemiteles spp.—Two others belonging to separate species 
were bred ; although good specimens I have been unable to get 
them named. Dr. Kriechbaumer thus writes me about them: 
“ Amongst the insects in my collection there is one species which 
Foerster identified as Lochetica macrura, most nearly related to 
these two females, but identical with neither: it has a complete 
areola.” 
Campoplex sp.—One specimen was bred. This is somewhat 
damaged, but it-is, I believe a Campoplex. One species of this 
genus, C. cerophagus, Gray., is parasitic on Emphytus melanarius ; 
this may have had a similar economy. According to Marshall’s 
catalogue C. cerophagus is, however, a Limneria. 
Limneria sp.—In Marshall’s catalogue there are seventy-three 
British species included by him in the genus Limneria ; hence it 
may be supposed that amongst such close allies it is difficult to 
identify a single specimen, which is all we have in the present 
case. 
Mesoleius formosus, Gr.—This beautiful little Tryphon, of 
which one specimen only was bred, belongs to a large genus, the 
species of which are mostly known to be sawfly parasites. In this 
instance it is probable that Dinewra Degeeri was the victim. 
Exochus globulipes, Desv.—The genus Ezochus is almost 
exclusively parasitic on Micro-Lepidoptera, though Kawall thinks 
that E. coronatus, Gy., and its variety H. erythronatus, Gr., may
