56 Mr. Ernest A. Elhott and Mr. Claude Morley on the 
227. Baris cuprirostris, Fab.* 
Rev. T. A. Marshall was somewhat sceptical (in MS.) of 
the accuracy of M. Edouard Perris’ observations regarding 
the parasitism of Pentapleura fuliginosa, Hal., upon the 
above three species of Baridius. 
228. Balaninus nucum, Linn. 
The parasitism of Pimpla nucum upon the Nut Weevil 
appears in need of considerable confirmation. Towards 
the end of May the former swarmed, says Nordlinger 
(Ichn. d. Forst. 11, 90), at Hohenheim, on the window of a 
room in which beech-nuts were stored, and these latter he 
found to be bored by Curculio nueum. Herr Zeller obtained 
the same Pimplid on April 18th from acorns, “therefore 
probably from Balaninus.” 
229. Balaninus pyrrhoceras, Marsh. 
Laboulbene tells us (Ann. Soc. Fr. 1877, p. 413) that 
Giraud has bred Bracon discoideus, Wesm., from this 
species. 
230. Balaninus villosus, Fab. 
Porizon nutritor, Gray., is said to have been bred from 
this weevil in France (Joc. cit. p. 403). 
231. Magdalis. 
Unspecified individuals of this genus have yielded, 
according to Ratzeburg (Ichn. d. Forst. ii, 213) Hlachestus 
leucogramma, Pteromalus magdalis and P. virescens3” 
which last is the P. violaceus of i, 23; and later (J. c. iii, 
249) he adds Cryptus echthroides and Pteromalus tessellatus, 
with doubtfully Pimpla linearis and Eusandulon tridens. 
Cf. also Tetrops preusta, ante [THAMNOPHILUS, Schonh. = 
MAGDALIs, Germ. ]. 
232. Magdalis carbonaria, Linn. 
From Magdalinus memnonius, Giraud says (Ann. Soe. 
Fr. 1877, p. 429) that Pieromalus magdalis, Ratz., has been 
bred by Perris. 
233. Magdalis phlegmatica, Herbst. 
Reissig bred a single ~ Hemiteles melanarius from 
Curculio (LThamnophilus) phlegmaticus on April 17tb (Ichn.
