which appears to be the undescribed sex of L. palpalis, 
Thoms., and, if so, is new to the British Fauna. 
111. Bruchus afinis, Froh. 
Curtis tells us (Farm Insects, 365) that Stgalphus 
thoracicus is parasitic upon bruchus flavimanus, 
112. Bruchus atomarius, Linn. 
The same author (lib. cit. 364) instances Sigalphus 
pallidipes as preying upon Lruchus granarius. Kirchner 
(Cat. 115) and Marshall (Bracon. d’Europ. 1, 254) say 
Chremylus rubiginosus, Nees, is a parasite of B. granarius, 
Schh.; from the larvae of which in the pods of vetch 
M. Perris has also bred Sigalphus striatulus. 
113. Bruchus lentis, Boh. 
Marshall (id. cit. 1, 812) indicates Sigalphus thoracicus, 
Curt., as preying upon Bruchus lentis, Schk. 
114. Bruchus rufimanus, Boh. 
This species is also given by Marshall (/.¢. 1, 254) as an 
alternative host of Chremylus rubiginosus, Nees. 
115. Bruchus biguttatus, Oliv.* 
Bracon rufator, Giraud, was raised by its author (Ann, 
Soc, Fr. 1877, p. 414) from B. biguttatus, in France. 
116. Bruchus seminarius, Linn.* 
Both Chremylus rubiginosus, Nees, and Sigalphus thora- 
cicus, Curtis, are given as parasitic upon this species by 
Marshall (Bracon d’Europ. 1, 254 et 312). 
117. Bruchus vicie, Oliv.* 
Edouard Perris, according to Laboulbéne (Ann. Soc. Fr. 
1877, pp. 414 et 429), bred Bracon precox, Wesm., and 
Pteromalus leucopezus, Ratz., from this species in France. 
118. Bruchus villosus, Fab. 
Three Chalcids are instanced by Ratzeburg as preying 
upon 2B. spartii, Er. These are T'ridymus undatus®® and 
T. punctatus*" (Ichn. d. Forst. 11, 227), the latter of which 
Reissig bred from the seeds of Spartium scoparvum, together
