Hymenopterous Parasites of Coleoptera. 457 
248. MACRONYCHUS QUADRITUBERCULATUS, 
Miill. 
M. Pérez tells us that in France a species of Chalcid, 
named by him Péteromalus macronychivorus (Ann. Soc. 
France, 18638, p. 631), has been bred from this host. 
25a. DERMESTES VULPINUS, Fab. 
Exochus gravipes, Grav., is given by Dalla Torre 
(Cat. Hym., iii, 211) as parasitic upon this cosmopolitan 
beetle, upon the authority of van Vollenhoven; but we 
have failed to discover the reference and consider it 
almost certainly an error, since the Exochini are, probably 
exclusively, attached to Lepidoptera. 
26a. ATTAGENUS PELLIO, Linn. 
We also feel sceptical respecting the accuracy of 
Doumere’s record of the parasitism of Jchnewmon ruspator 
= Odontomerus dentipes, Gmel., upon this species (cf. 
his observations on the subject, Ann. Soc. Fr., 1859, Bull., 
pp. 172-3). 
28a. LEPIDODERMA ALBOTECTA, Waterh.* 
Like Oryctes in Kurope, this species is attacked by 
a Scolia in the Antipodes. Froggatt says (Australian 
Insects, 1907, 105) of Dielis formosa, Guér., “this imsect 
has been found in Queensland destroying the under- 
ground grub of the Sugar-cane Beetle (Lepidoderma albo- 
hirtum,” sic). 
32. Anthaxia quadripunctata, Linn.* 
Kriechbaumer gives his new Ophionid, Pyracmon 
pectoralis (Ann. Nat. Hofmus. Wien., 1890, p. 484, f) as 
also parasitic upon this beetle. 
32a. ANTHAXIA MORIO, Fab.* 
“ Atanycolus denigrator, Nees. Par. de I’ Antaaxia 
moro. (Perris).’—(Dours’ Cat., 74).
