235. Rhopalomestes tardyi, Curt. 
Chitty took this species of Pimplid, already recorded, 
flying round an ash tree full of the present weevil near 
Plymouth in June, 1907, and shortly afterwards Mr. Keys 
sent me much of the wood from the same tree, containing 
larvae of &. tardyi and dead Odontomerus dentipes. Both 
host and parasite emerged thence. during the following 
August (cf Morl., Ichn. Brit., iii, 11). 
238. Scolytus destructor, Oliv. 
Cf. also Wesmael (in Bull. Ac. Brux., 1838, p. 220, e¢ 
Revue Zool., 1838, p. 144), “ Notice sur le Bracon initiator 
lennemi du Scolytus destructor”; as well as Guérin- 
Méneville, Bull. Soc. Fr., 1846, pp. 969-77. 
240. Scolytus multistriatus, Marsh. 
We found Cheiropachys colon, Linn., actually in the 
burrows of this borer, among the pupae of the latter, in 
felled elm trunks at Blackwater, I. W., in June, 1907. 
A 2 of Coeliodes scolyticida, Wesm., was captured in my 
garden at Monk Soham, Suffolk, on June 27, 1908; it 
was investigating borings in an ancient, thick timber of a 
summer-house, more likely to be tenanted by Anobiwm 
than Scolytus——(C. M.) 
243. Scolytus rugulosus, Ratz. 
Eurytoma rufipes, Walk., and Cheiropachus quadrum, 
Walk. = colon, Linn., have also been bred from this borer 
by Perris in France (Dours, Cat., 96, 102). Possibly one - 
of the Chalcids already mentioned is synonymous with 
Ashmead’s 2 Tetrastichus scolyti, described by him from 
this species (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc., 1894, p. 343; ef. 
Platygerrhus scolyti, Ashm., lib. cit., p. 335); or with his 
Lurytoma crassinewra (lib. cit., p. 324). 
2430. LOGANIUS FICUS, Schwarz.* 
Schwarz is said to have bred Cerocephala scolytivora, 
Ashm., from this beetle by the latter (Proc. Ent. Soc. 
Washington, 1894, p. 33).
