Мг. А. А. Girault in a paper identified in the ,Trans. Атег. 
Entom. Soc.*, vol. 37, Ne 1—3 Westwoodella А $ h m. and Oligosita Hal. 
I can not agree only with the author using the name of West- 
woodella A sh m. instead of Oligosita Hal. The genus Westwoodella 
has been described quite recently and even more unsufficiently than 
genus Oligosita Hal. Г doubt if Dr. W. H. Ashmead ever had 
before him Westwood's types of subfasciata, from Ceylon. The male 
of Westwoodella as described by Ashmead does evidentely not be- 
long to the female described under the same name. From these two 
generic names [ prefer to use the earlier one as it is accompanied with 
description done from the specimens and not based on the literature only. 
The genus Pentharthron Riley (a synonymic name of which is 
according to Mr. A. A. Girault Oophtora Aurivillius, is represented 
in Europe by two species of which P. semblidis Auriv. (P. carpo- 
capsae Schreiner) is the more generally known. 
When studying in Eberswalde collections of Ratzeburg some 
weeks ago I found that Encyrtus embryophagus Hartig is no 
Encyrtus at all but is Pentharthron and from what I was able to learn 
from the dry specimens is identical with Pentharthron semblidis Auri v. 
The specimens in Ratzeburg’s collection were probably set 
not by Hartig himself. In the collections of the Museum für Natur- 
kunde, Berliu, I found the same species original label Hartig's — bea- 
ring ,Ex ovis Bombyx pini Berl. Hartig* but recently pinned under 
the generic name Trichogramma. In catalogues of the Chalcidodea this 
species is placed among the Encyrtidae. 
For the biological records of this species published before Auri- 
villiu's description I refer the reader can to Ratzeburg's work on 
„Ichneumonen der Forstinsekten“.
