I also add, by way of further illustration of the fig- 

 insects, a figure of — 



Palmon (Pachytomus) Klugianus. (PL X., figs. 86 — 88). 



Westw., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., vol. iv., p. 260 ; pi. 10 

 fig. 23, with details. 



" Ex ficubus iEgypti," a specimen of which was kindly 

 communicated to me by the late Dr. Klug. I do not 

 know the species of Ficus which it infests, and am not 

 acquainted with the female, which has probably an elon- 

 gated, exserted ovipositor. 



Respecting this insect Dr. Paul Mayer observes : — 

 " G. Mayr giebt an (Die europaischen Torymiden, Verb, 

 zool.-bot. Ges. Wien., 1874, xxiv., p. 63 Anm.) die 

 Merkmale von Pachytomus nach Westwood (Trans. Ent. 

 Soc, iv., p. 260) passen auf die $ von Podagrion, Spin, 

 und hochst wahrscheinlich seien die in Feigen gefundenen 

 Exemplare in dieselben nur eingedrungen, um Zucker zu 

 lecken (op. cit., p. 581, note 3).
