Ganin states in Zeitschr. für wiss. Zool. XIX. 1860. 
p. 427. (Tab. XXXIII fig. 7—19) that he has examined the 
development of the larve ofthe Ophioneurus which lays its 
eggs on the eggs of Pieris brassicae (vide p. 382. Anm.) 
The Ophioneurus (Poropoea) the larva of which De Fi- 
lippi examined, Ganin has looked for in vain at Giessen. 
Whether on the whole it was the larve of an Ophioneurus 
which Ganin examined, is not easy to decide at the pre- 
sent time.
