Hymenopterous Parasites of Coleoptera. 23 
66. Lyctus canaliculatus, Fab. 
Dalman, according to Westwood (Mod. Class. 1i, 159), 
always observed Perilampus micans upon posts which had 
been perforated by this species; but no direct association 
appears to be established, although Ratzeburg (Ichn. d. 
Forst. i, 23 et 11, 215) and Stephens (Illust. Suppl. 8, on 
L. oblongus) refer to the same subject. Giraud, however 
(Ann. Soc. Fr. 1877, p. 419), says he has bred Husandulum 
anerme, Ratz., from this beetle. Mr, E. A. Newbery sent 
me in July (18, vii, ’01) two 2 2 Hubadizon pallidipes, Nees, 
“taken in Middlesex, while intruding their long spicule 
into the burrows of Z. canaliculatus in an oak fence ” [C. M.]. 
Bignell also records this parasite (Trans. Devon. Assoc. 
1901, p. 682) “busy depositing eggs in a wood-boring 
beetle, infesting oak fencing,” in London; this probably 
also applies to the present Coleopteron, since Mr. Newbery 
informs us he sent the latter some of these parasites. We 
have received from Mr. E. C. Bedwell two 2 2 Hubadizon 
pallidipes, Nees, which “with others were running about 
on an old park paling fence at Ashstead in Surrey, which 
was riddled with borings of Lyctus canaliculatus; they 
seemed to run from hole to hole, some of which they partly 
entered. The Zyctus was abundant at the time”; 24th 
June, 1905. 
67. Lyctus brunneus, Steph. 
Eubadizon pallidipes, Nees, has also been captured by 
Mr. Donisthorpe, in the act of ovipositing in the burrows 
of this beetle, at Southfields, in 1904. 
68. Cis boleti, Scop. 
P. F. Bouché describes, in his Naturgeschichte der 
Insecten (1834, p. 149), a parasite of this species under 
the name Sracon cis—referred to by Westwood (Mod. 
Class. 1, 143). This Nees synonymised with Meteorus 
atrator, Curt.; but Marshall (Bracon. d’Europ. u, pp. 96 
et 119) thinks it certainly referable to JZ profligator, Hal., 
of which Bignell (Trans. Devon. Assoc., 1901, p. 682) bred 
nine examples from the larvee of this Coleopteron, in Poly- 
porus versicolor, early in August 1885. I. filator, Hal., 
is also sometimes found abundantly in the same kind of 
fungus, though no association with C. boleti has yet been 
suggested,
