INSECTS BRED FROM CYNIPS KOLLARI GALLS. 255 
and his descriptions and remarks follow this article. The 
collection was next sent to Herr Brischke, and he named the 
three species as follows:—‘(1) Belongs to Phygadeuon, or 
probably may be Hemiteles punctatus, Ratzeburg. (2) Resembles 
Henuteles coriarius, Taschenberg. (8) Not unlike Hemiteles 
monospilus, but probably new.” Later these were sent to 
Vollenhoven with the above information, but he did not know 
them, and quite concurred in their forming a distinct new genus. 
Had Vollenhoven been spared to complete ‘ Pinacographia,’ one 
or all of the species would probably have been figured in that 
fine work. I fancy these must be parasitic on the Aculeates, but 
it may possibly be on the Tortrices. 
Phygadeuon obscuripes, Tasch.—Mr. Bridgman tells me that 
a single female specimen bred by Mr. Billups belongs to this 
species, which was separated by T'aschenberg from Grayenhorst’s 
P. abdominator. ‘The numerous species of Hemiteles and Phyga- 
dewon are very puzzling. 
Hemiteles oxyphimus, Gr.—A single female, which appears to 
be a variety of this species, was bred by Mr. Billups. Like most 
of the Hemviteles, itis very probably hyperparasitic; but Ratze- 
burg says that Wissmann cut many specimens out of oak bark, 
where it was probably attached to Anobiwm, and Marshall gives 
it as bred from Cymatophora ocularis, a very different history. 
H. similis, Gr.—Mr. Billups bred both sexes of this species. 
It is generally a common parasite in Microgaster cocoons, but 
Mr. Billups also bred it last year from the mines of Lithocolletis 
spinicolella, and Mr. Bridgman from a spider’s nest. 
H., bicolorinus, Gr.—This pretty species, which has clouded 
wings like the common H. areator, is also hyperparasitic. Also, 
like H. areator, it is commonly bred from the case-bearing larvee 
of various Lepidoptera. Mr. Weston bred one female and Mr. 
Billups three, one a nice variety. 
H. areator, Panz.—Several females again bred by Mr. Weston. 
See my remarks at Entom xii. 115. 
Anomaton geniculatum, Holmgr.—Mr. Weston bred one speci- 
men of a doubtful Anomalon, which Mr. Bridgman has, no doubt 
correctly, determined as A. geniculatum; but, he writes, “It 
differs slightly in the colour of the hind femora from Holmgren’s 
description ; still the peculiar arrangement of the posterior 
discoidal recurrent nervure proves it, I think, to be that species.”
