OCCURRENCE OF SPECIES. 
bl 
Although a large quantity of these squares were exam- 
ined, no specimens of this species were obtained except from the 
general breeding 
cage. 
The species is known as a parasite of an 
estivating weevil (Anthonomus signatus Say), and it is possible that 
in the fall the parasites may attack Anthonomus grandis. 
GEOGRAPHICAL AND 
SEASONAL DISTRIBUTION OF 
PARASITES. 
Only four of these parasites are at present of any great importance. 
In arranging the percentages of each species with regard to the total 
number of parasites the following table (Table XIX) has brought 
out sufficient data for the production of a map (fig. 6) which shows 
the area over which any two of them are predominant. 
the entire western half of the area studied Bracon mellitor and Cato- 
laccus incertus are the most active, while in the Northeast and East 
Cerambycobius cyaniceps shares the importance with the other three 
in more or less limited belts:
