probably be parasitic on Cladius viminalis; doubtless this 
Desvignian species appropriated one of the Tortricideous inhabi- 
tants. ‘I'wo species were bred. 
Ephialtes spp.—Several specimens of these fine Ichneumons 
were bred, and they are amongst the most interesting of the 
collection. ‘There are certainly two new species and probably a 
third. I have carefully compared them with Ruthe’s and 
Desvignes’ collection in the British Museum, and with all the 
descriptions and figures I can find, especially Gravenhorst, Ratze- 
burg and Holmgren. I sent seven specimens (two males, five 
females) to Dr. Kriechbaumer, who quite agrees that there are two 
undescribed, and tells me they are quite distinct from any of the 
numerous species which are in the Munich Museum collection, 
and in his own. He especially mentions several small species 
bred from Carpocapsa splendana (from acorns), Lipara lucens (from 
reeds), and Nematus vesicator (from willow galls), with none of 
which they agree. Prof. Frey-Gessner and M. Lichtenstein have 
given some interesting accounts of bramble inhabitants in two 
recent numbers of ‘ Entomologische Nachrichten’ (iii. 94 and 140). 
Numerous examples of H’phialtes divinator, Rossi. (= Histrio, Pz.) 
were bred early in May, which Lichtenstein says is parasitic on 
Cemonus wnicolor, Psen atratus and Trypoxylon jfigulus, and, 
according to Dours’ Catalogue, on Cemonus rufiger (teste Goureau). 
Ei. mediator is also parasitic on Cemonus wnicolor, and it is 
probable that in these galls Hphialtes was similarly parasitic on 
some Crabro, as Mr. Weston particularly noticed the limp wings 
and ovipositor, which proved the specimens not to have been 
hybernators. 
Clistopyga wcitator, Fab.—Six males and one female of this 
rather variable Pimplid were bred. It is figured in ‘ Pinacographia,’ 
Pl. xiii. fig. 8. Nothing certain is known as to the economy of the 
genus, but the few species are probably Lepidopterous parasites. 
Gravenhorst’s C. hemorrhoidalis, with which the female agrees, is 
given as a variety of C. incitator in Marshall’s Catalogue. 
Apanteles glomeratus, L.?—Three specimens, which are appa- 
rently identical with the very common A. glomeratus, were bred. 
This is uncertain, however, as doubtless these were hybernating 
imagos, which I think is not the habit of the Pieris-feeder. 
There was another, but single, specimen which was abundantly 
distinct. This can at present only be characterised as Apanteles sp.
