Hymenopterous Parasites of Coleoptera. 37 
138. Phyllotreta nigra, ? MS.* 
Under Aphidius Halticw, Rond., Marshall (Bracon. 
d’Europ. ii, 616) writes: ‘‘ Provenu, selon l’auteur, de la 
larve d'un coléoptére, qu'il nomme Phyllotreta nigra, Ent. 
Heft. Outre quil n’y a pas de Phyllotreta nigra parmi 
les Halticidz, un rapport de parasitisme entre Aphidius et 
un coléoptére est peu vraisemblable.—Italie.” 
139. Psylliodes dulcamare, Koch. 
Dr. Giraud, in a footnote (Ann. Soc. Fr. 1877, p. 248), 
says: “M. Edouard Perris a trouvé le Péeromalus ea- 
crescentium de Ratzeburg, parasite de la Psylliodes 
dulcamare.” 
140. Cassida. 
Under Entedon cassidarum, Ratz., Kirchner (Cat. 184) 
gives: “Gezogen aus Cassida-Arten.” It was bred by both 
von Siebold and Rosenhauer from members of this genus 
(Ichn. d. Forst. 11, 248). 
141. Cassida seladonia, Gyll. 
Laboulbéne gives (Ann. Soc. Fr. 1877, p. 418) Chaleis 
parvula, Laporte, as having been bred by Perris from 
C. filaginis, Perr. 
142. Heledona agaricola, Latr. 
Of his 2 Orthocentrus testaceipes, Brischke says (Schr, 
Nat. Ges. Danz. 1878, n. 6, p. 110): “Aus Larven der 
Heledona agaricola in einem Boletus erzogen. Neustadt.” 
A dozen specimens, including both sexes, of a green 
Pteromalus, together with their hosts, were bred from this 
beetle by Donisthorpe in a fungus found at Virginia 
Water, 21st September, 1901. 
143. Diaperis boleti, Linn. 
Giraud found Diospilus ephippiwm associating with this 
beetle and other fungivorous Coleoptera in Boletus rgnarvus 
about Vienna (Bracon. d’Europ. ii, 263 et Kirch. Cat. 132). 
Laboulbene records Microdus calculator, Nees (Ann. Soc. 
Fr. 1877, p. 412): “ Bolet, avec Diaperis boleti et Tinea 
parasitella”?; Marshall, however, thinks the JMJicrodus 
more probably parasitic on the Lepidoptera, Scardia bolete, 
Fab., ete.
