Hymenopterous Parasites of Coleoptera. 487 
present species ; as also, says Reinhard (Berl. Ent. Zeit., 
1857, p. 75), was Cerocephala cornigera, Westw. But cf 
Fitch (Entom., 1879, p. 47, e¢ 1881, p. 21), who considers 
Sciatheras trichotus, Ratz,, to be the parasite of Calandra 
and to be distinct from ’ Cerocephala, with which Forster 
mingled it (Morl., Cat. Brit. Chal., 1910, p. 28). 
231. Magdalis, 
A female Hurytoma, bred by Oberfoster Wachtl from 
twigs of Pinus nigricans infested by a species of this genus 
near Vienna in February, is suggested by Mayr (Verh, 
z.-b. Ges., 1879, p. 322) as synonymous with Ratzeburg’s 
E. abieticola (ef. No. 234, post) ; he says it differs from his 
E. auricoma, which it closely resembles, in its white and 
more densely pubescent face, testaceous, intermediate 
coxae, and centrally deeply impressed metanotum. 
[Dele Cryptus echthroides from our original article and 
cf. No. 234.] 
234, Magdalis violacea, Linn. 
Cryptus (Helcostizus) echthroides, Ratz., though not as- 
signed to any particular host species of Magdalis at Ichn. 
d. Forst., i1, 251—copied by us (Trans. Ent. Soc., 1907, 
p- 56)—is relegated at Jib. cit., 11, 138, to A violacea (as 
pointed out by Vollenhoven, Pinac., 65). 
2340, MAGDALIS ARMICOLLIS, Say.* 
A new species of the genus Hurytoma has been described 
as preying upon the present by Ashmead (Trans. Amer. 
Ent. Soc., 1894, p. 326), under the name ZL, magdalidis, 
from Virginia. 
2348. MAGDALIS RUFA, Germ.* 
Dr. Mayr records (Verh. z.-b. Ges,, 1878, pp. 300 et seqq.) 
the parasitism of his Hur rytoma Wachtli upon this species ; 
he says the latter bred in the spring three 2? 2 and one ¢ 
from UM. rufa in the branches of Pinus nigricans at Bruhl, 
near Vienna.
