THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



specimens, all females ; these very beantifal insects being no 

 doubt parasitic upon the sawfly larva, which will be referred to 

 later on. There were also two females and one male of Gli/pta 

 incim, Gr., and a single female of Lissonota secjmentator, Fab. I 

 had almost forgotten to mention Clistopyga increator, Fab., of 

 which I reared three females and two males ; and also four 

 females of Meniscus impresHor, Gr. Among the Braconidse were 

 eleven specimens oi Rliogas circumscriptus, Nees; seven specimens 

 of Apanteles zygcenarum, Marshall, thirteen of rubripes, Hall; 

 fifteen of Macrocentrus marginator, Nees, and numbers of 

 injirmm, Nees. The Oxyuridae had no less than seven species 

 to rej)resent them, and were as follows : — Proctutrypes ater, Nees, 

 nine specimens, and thirteen of calcar, Hal. ; while there were 

 seven specimens each of Megaspilus rufipes and Oxylahis hisulca, 

 Nees; of Belta dorsalis, Thom., five specimens were reared; 

 but of Synacra hrachialis, Nees, I only succeeded in finding 

 one specimen ; there were also three specimens of the genus 

 Aphanogmus, which have not yet been described. Among the 

 Tenthredinidse or sawflies were no less than thirteen specimens 

 of Dineura verna, Giraud, four of virididorsata, Cam., and seven 

 of Emphytus cinctiia, Klug. 



The number of species of Lepidoptera reared were only four, 

 and these only in small numbers : — Ephippipliora gallicolana, 

 ZelL, was represented by three specimens; Heiisimene fimhriana, 

 Haw., and Coccyx splendidulana, Gn., two specimens of each; 

 and one example only of C. argyrana, Hb. 



Diptera also showed up poorly in numbers, there being only 

 two species : — Homalomyia canicidaris, L., being common ; and a 

 species of Cecidomyia undetermined. 



The order of Coleoptera was somewhat better, being repre- 

 sented by fourteen species, namely, Olibnts cenciiH, F., plentiful; 

 Coccinella hipunctata, L., and variabilis, 111., several specimens of 

 each ; Cryptophagus cellaris, Scop., and Orchestes que reus, L., 

 numerous; Teleplwrus flavilabris, Fall., and limbatus, Thom., six 

 specimens of each ; iJasytes plumbeo-niger, Goeze, abundant ; 

 Malthodes marginatus, Lat., eleven specimens ; Anaspis melanopa, 

 Forst., and ruficollis, F., both species plentiful ; Coeliodes quercus, 

 F., and Bhinosimus p)lanirostris, F., eleven specimens of each; 

 and, lastly, Balaninus brassica, F., five specimens only. 



Neuroj)tera was represented in the Psocidae by three species 

 only : — Psocusfasciatus, Fab., and Stenopsocus cruciatus, L., were 

 fairly plentiful ; while the very beautiful and fragile Elipsocus 

 unipunctatus, Miill., mustered three only. 



I now come to the end of my list with the Arachnoidea, 

 of which there were several specimens of two species of spider, 

 which I have been unable to get determined. The subfamily 

 Acari had its representatives in Damceus genicidatus, Koch, and 

 Uropoda vegetans, Lat., both these species being plentiful; while
