Epliialtes strobilorwn, Katz. 



Pimjyla strohilorum, Eatz., d. Ichn. Forst., ii., 94, ? ; 

 Epkinltes strohilorum., Tascli., Zeits. Ges. Nat., 

 1863, 254, ? ; Thorns., Opusc. Ent., 744. 



Mr. Bignell bred both sexes from Coccyx strohilorum, 

 end of May and beginning of June. 



Pimpla nigriceps, Tasch. 



Tasch., Ic, 260, 24, ?. 



Mr. Thonless took a Pimpla which agrees with this 

 species in general coloration and structure, but is only 

 5 mm. instead of 11 mm., the size given by Taschenburg ; 

 this is not of much consequence, as many of the species 

 of Pimpla vary much in size. In this specimen the 

 metathorax and breast are black ; the transverse anal 

 nervure is divided a little below the middle. 



Taken at Drayton, 1885. 



Glypta ceratites, Gr., ? var. 



Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher has bred about forty specimens 

 of a Glypta which Prof. C. G. Thomson says is this 

 species. In every specimen the same coloration of the 

 legs exists, viz., legs red, coxa3 black, sometimes base of 

 trochanters, hind femora at the knees, base and apex of 

 hind tibisB and hind tarsi fuscous, extreme base of joints 

 of latter more or less pale ; abdomen varies from in- 

 cisions reddish to apex of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd segments 

 somewhat widely red. Except for the coloration I am 

 unable to detect any structural difference. The true 

 ceratites has the extreme base of hind tibiae pale or 

 whitish. These were bred from PJuchromia Jiainmeana
