Hymenopterous Parasites of Coleoptera. 479 
182. Hypera plantaginis, DeG. 
Dalla Torre refers (/.¢., 661) to Ratzeburg having bred 
Hemiteles pedestris, Fab.—possibly the same species as 
was bred by Curtis, since the latter does not specify it— 
from this weevil. 
1824. HYPERA VARIABILIS, Herbst. 
Mr. E. A. Butler has bred Mesochorus gibbulus, Holmegr., 
hyperparasitically through Limneria lugubrina, Holmegr., 
from this species (Entom., 1883, p. 67). 
1828. HYPERA ARUNDINIS, Payk. 
[Cf No. 135, our article upon which belongs here.] The 
raising of Canidiella quinqueangularis, Ratz., is ascribed 
by Dalla Torre (Cat., iii, 110) to Kriechbaumer; but 
Schmiedeknecht distinctly states (Opusce. Ichn., xxi, 
1909), 1677: “Die Examplare welche Ratzeburg besch- 
rieber hat stammten von Brischke: dieser hatte sit aus 
den Larven von Phytonomus arundinis gezogen.” 
182y. HYPERA TIGRINA, Boh. 
I have examined single females of Pimpla nucwm, Ratz., 
with the terebra aborted, and Pezomachus intermedius, 
Forst., possibly parasitic upon it—since the two pupae 
whence they emerged were analogous—bred by E. C, 
Bedwell at St. Margaret’s Bay, in Kent, from this beetle 
in September, 1908. 
184a. LIXUS POLLIONIS, Laich.* 
Pteromalus perilampoides, Walk., is said by Dours (Cat., 
103) to have been bred from ZL. onorpordi, Besser MS., by 
Perris in France. 
185. Livus iridis, Oliv.* 
M. Abbé Pierre details the parasitism (Revue Lin- 
néenne, 1903, Nos. 220-4) of Rhopalicus brevicornis, 
Thoms., upon the eggs and of a species of Tetrastichus, 
Hal. = Cirrospilus, Walk., upon the larvae, pupae and 
imagines of this beetle.
