SOME OF THE BRED PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA IN THE NA- 

 TIONAL COLLECTION. 



It is our iuteution, as fast as the material in the National Museum 

 collection can be re-arranged, to record iu a series of lists in consecutive 

 numbers of Insect Life the hosts, dates, and localities of those species 

 of Parasitic Hymenoptera which have been reared. New species are 

 indicated iu MS names where preliminary descriptions, which we hope to 

 revise and publish, have been drawn up. 



The advantages of such lists to working entomologists are too obvious 

 to require elaboration.
