478 Messrs. E. - Elliott and Claude Morley on the 
173¢. APION AENEUM, Fab. 
Both Sigalphus striatulus, Nees, and Pteromalus larva- 
vum, Nees, have been bred, says Dours (Cat., 77, 104), 
from this weevil by Goureau in France. 
173y, APION PUBESCENS, Kirby. 
Perris has bred Hupelmus wrozonus, Dalm., and Lulophus 
Alaparus, Walk., from Apion salicis, Gyll. (Dours, Cat., 89, 
106). 
1736. APION FUSCIROSTRE, Fab. 
From this species is somewhat doubtfully recorded the 
Chaleid, Microterys (Encyrtus) mitratus, Dalm., by Mayr 
(Verh. z.-b. Ges., 1875, p. 710). 
173. APION ASTRAGALIT, Payk. 
Mayr appears to have bred Hurytoma salicis, Walk. = 
gibba, Boh., from this species (Verh. z.-b. Ges., 1878-9, 
p. 332) in Lower Austria: “I obtained one male from a 
pod of Astragalus glycyphyllos in which probably larvae of 
this beetle had lived.” 
173x. APION RADIOLUS, Kirby. 
We may conjecture, since this is the only Coleopteron 
indicated by Kaltenbach as feeding on Althaea, that this 
was the host from which the ten specimens of Hurytoma 
curculionum were bred by Mayr in Austria (Verh, z.-b. 
Ges., xxviii, p. 308) out of the stems of A. rosae. 
180. Hypera rumacis, Linn. 
From this host, M. Decaux also records (Feull. Jeun. 
Natural., 1888, p. 97), Hulophus ramicornis, Fab.; and 
Osborne has described (E. M. M., xvi, p. 17) the cocoons 
of “two species of Ichneumonidae.” 
181. Hypera polygon, Linn. 
Brischke is said by Dalla Torre (Cat. Hym., 111, 243) to 
have recorded the parasitism of Bassus (Promethes) festiwus, 
Fab., upon Phytonomus polygons.
