42 Mr. Ernest A. Elliott and Mr. Claude Morley on the 
160. Apion. 
Kirby and Spence (Introd. 7th Ed. 1859, 154) say 
they have received hymenopterous parasites from “The 
clover-weevil ”—probably Apion apricans. Ratzeburg 
(Ichn. d. Forst 11, 249) instances Pteromalus leguminum 
and Z'ridymus punctatus“ bred from unspecified Apiones. 
Kirchner records (Cat. 179) Cirrospilus nerio “ Aus Apion 
in Spartium-Hiilsen erzogen.” And Giraud tells us (Ann. 
Soe. Fr. 1877, pp. 428-30) that Pteromalus fasciatus, Forst., 
and P. regius, Forst., have been bred from uninstanced 
members of this rich genus. 
161. Apion apricans, Herbst. 
Perhaps Kirby and Spence’s above record: refers to 
Callimone parallelinus, Boh., which Reinhard once bred 
from this species. 
162. Apion bohemani, Thoms. 
Perris, according to Laboulbéne (Ann. Soc. Fr. 1877, p. 
428), bred Pteromalus erichsoni, Ratz., and perhaps also 
P, albitarsus, Walk., from Apion ononidis, in France. 
163. Apion cracce, Linn. 
164. Apion difficile, Herbst.* 
According to Marshall (Bracon. d’Europ. i, 144), Bach 
has raised Bracon colpophorus, Wesm., from the siliquee of 
Ervum hirsutum, which were occupied by both these 
Apiones; the parasitism, however, appears open to doubt. 
Bach is also instanced (Ichn. d. Forst. iii, 234) as having 
bred Pteromalus leguminum in quantities from both A. 
cracce and A, difficile. 
165. Apion loti, Kirby. 
166. Apion rufirostre, Fab. 
Giraud tells us (Ann. Soc. Fr. 1877, p. 412) that Sigalphus 
Jloricola, Wesm., has been bred from both Apion atritarse 
and A. loti by Edouard Perris. 
167. Apion trifoli, Linn. 
This species is said by Laboulbéne (loc. cit. p. 429) to 
have been parasitically attacked, according to Perris, by 
Pteromalus leguninum, Ratz.
