Hymenopterous Parasites of Coleoptera. 19 
in which Anobi had probably lived (11, 130); Lissonota 
arvicola"! was bred by the same observer (ii, 98 et i1, 98) 
from beech logs inhabited by Anobit and Ptilint; and 
numerous Vapheus fuscipes ** were found on old worm- 
eaten wooden bathing-houses (/.¢. iii, 60) whence they 
were conjectured to have emerged from Anobii by Brischke, 
who once took Diospilus capito in abundance on old wood, 
probably from the same host (Schr. Nat. Ges. Danz. 1880, 
p. 123). Marshall gives Calyptus tibialis (Bracon. d’Kurop. 
ul, 149) as another “ parasite supposé” of this genus. 
47. Anobium domesticum, Foure. 
Bracon spathiiformis was certainly bred from Ano- 
bium striatum in hazel, by Nordlinger in France (Ichn. d. 
Forst. 1, 87). It is possible that this parasite—which is 
Haliday’s Doryctes obliteratus, Ent. Mag. iv, p. 44 (nec 
Nees et Wesm.)—was really Spathius clavatus," Panz., 
mentioned by Brischke (Schr. Nat. Ges. Danz. 1880, p. 
137), “aus Larven von Anobium striatum erzogen.” 
Bouché certainly bred the latter from this host, and Mr. 
A. J. Chitty has recently bred several Doryectes spathi- 
formis at Huntingfield in Kent from dead whitethorn 
sticks containing A. domesticum and Priobiwm castaneum. 
Rev. W. F. Johnson has recorded (E. M. M. 1901, p. 15) 
Spathius exarator, Linn., on Morley’s authority, as com- 
monly parasitic on A. domesticum in the central pillar of 
a large rosewood table, in Ireland; and Marshall also 
indicates the same host. Wissmann bred Hemiteles mo- 
destus 8 from A, striatwm in old woodwork (Ichn. d. Forst. 
ii, 129 et i, 154), as well as Rogas collaris >? (1. ¢. 11, 66) ; 
and the association of Hemiteles bicolorinus, Grav., is sug- 
gested by Morley (Ichn. Brit. 11, 131). Donisthorpe bred 
a Chalcid at Rye in August 1902, from the burrows of 
this beetle. Mr. A. Sich took a @ of Spathius exarator, 
Linn., investigating the burrows of A. domesticum at 
Chiswick on 14th August, 1906. 
48. Anobium (Ernobius) angusticolle, Ratz.* 
Marshall simply says of Aspidogonus abietis, Ratz. (Bracon. 
d’Europ. 1, 253), “Il habité les pommes de pin, en société 
avec les Anobiwm abietis, Fab., et angusticolle, Ratz.,” 
which, however, certainly points to parasitism ; especially 
since Wissmann (Ichn. d. Forst. ii, 69), who actually bred 
it, expresses no doubt upon the subject.
