  According 
  to 
  C. 
  E. 
  Ward 
  the 
  parasitized 
  beetle 
  was 
  confined 
  April 
  

   27, 
  1891, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  following 
  day 
  a 
  lot 
  of 
  larvae 
  were 
  noticed 
  crawling 
  

   about. 
  Thus 
  nearly 
  three 
  weeks 
  elapsed 
  between 
  the 
  time 
  the 
  larvse 
  

   left 
  the 
  host 
  and 
  the 
  emergence 
  of 
  the 
  parasites.

   differs
