50 Mr. Ernest A. Elliott and Mr. Claude Morley on the 
obscuripes (i, 165 et iii, 173) bred sparingly, with LZ. sesqui- 
Jasciatus * (i, 164), from oak leaves mined by O. quercus ; 
Entedon cyclogaster (i, 167), lying free beside this beetle’s 
larval skin; one f of H. flavomaculatus (i, 164), bred on 
10th July from oak leaves mined by this host; /. /unatus 
(ii, 166), bred in quantities from O. quercus, with £. orchestis 
(i, 165 et 11, 160), at Neustadt; 2. medianus (11, 169) bred 
in France by Nordlinger from mixed O. guercus and 0. alieis ; 
a single 2 of H#. amethystinus (11, 170) was also bred, among 
a large number of other species, from 0. quercus. Nord- 
linger bred one Hulophus dendricornis (i, 161) early in 
June from mining larvee of O. quercus in alder leaves, and 
both sexes of #. fumatus (11, 156) from oak leaves con- 
taining both this species and O. ilicis; H. pilicornis (1, 160) 
was several times bred from the subcutaneous larvee of 0. 
quercus, sometimes alone, at others with Pteromalus orchestis 
anda 2 Hupelmus viduus; Hulophus pectinicornis (i, 161) 
preys on the same host. Pteromalus Jowanensis (ii, 199) 
was bred by Nordlinger from mixed Orchestes quercus and 
O. ilicis at Grand Jouan, in France ; and Ratzeburg bred 
Hlachestus obscurus* (11, 178) infrequently from the former; 
lastly a single specimen of the Proctotrypid, Zeleas minutus 
(ii, 143), was found dead among bundreds of this beetle’s 
parasites. According to Marshall (Bracon. d’Europ. i, 
141), C. Rondani also bred his Hubadizon orchestis from 
this weevil in Italy. 
200. Orchestes viminalis, Ratz.* 
It appears that Ratzeburg considered this species syno- 
nymous with, or a variety of, the last, under which (Ichn, 
d. Forst. i, 203 et 205) he says of Pteromalus diachymatis : 
“T have the five 2 2 out of larve of Orchestes viminalts in 
oak leaves, together with my P. orchestis and Hulophus 
pilicornis, on 13th July.” Kirchner, however, perpetuates 
the name (Cat. 169): “ Pteromalus diachymatis, Ratz., 
Preuss. Aus. Orchestes viminalis.” Cf. also Forstinsecten, 
1, 155. 
201. Miarus campanule, Linn. 
Brischke (Schr. Nat. Ges. Danz.) gives Bracon variator, 
B. terebella, Pezomachus fasciatus and Pimp a brevicornis as 
parasitic upon this weevil. ‘The last-named parasite was
