  PROCEEDINGS 
  OF 
  THE 
  FOUETH 
  ENTOMOLOGICAL 
  MEETING 
  

  

  One 
  year 
  on 
  five 
  different 
  occasions 
  and 
  in 
  different 
  fields 
  actual 
  

   countings 
  were 
  made 
  to 
  ascertain 
  the 
  extent 
  of 
  parasitization. 
  The 
  

   following 
  Table 
  shows 
  the 
  results 
  obtained 
  :—

  Now 
  a 
  word 
  about 
  the 
  systematic 
  position 
  of 
  this 
  Chalcidid. 
  Asym- 
  

   piesiella 
  india, 
  was 
  described 
  by 
  Girault 
  in 
  the 
  Canadian 
  Entomologist, 
  

   Vol. 
  XLVIII 
  (1916) 
  p. 
  341, 
  from 
  material 
  sent 
  from 
  Pusa 
  in 
  1912 
  and 
  

   again 
  in 
  1916 
  to 
  Dr. 
  L. 
  0. 
  Howard. 
  The 
  genus 
  Asympiesiella 
  was 
  

   created 
  by 
  Girault 
  in 
  1913 
  for 
  the 
  reception 
  of 
  Sympiesis 
  nelsonensis, 
  

   (vide 
  Trans. 
  R. 
  Sac. 
  South 
  Australia, 
  Vol. 
  37 
  (1913) 
  p. 
  78). 
  According 
  

   to 
  Schmiedeknecht, 
  the 
  genus 
  Sympiesis, 
  Forst, 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  Subtribe 
  

   Eulophina, 
  Tribe 
  Eulophini, 
  Sub-family 
  Eulophinw 
  of 
  the 
  Family 
  

   C'halcididse. 
  

  

  Regarding 
  Asympiesiella 
  india, 
  Girault 
  says 
  that 
  this 
  Indian 
  species 
  

   differs 
  from 
  the 
  North 
  American 
  Sympiesis 
  dolicJiogaster, 
  Ashmead, 
  

   most 
  notably 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  medium 
  carina 
  of 
  the 
  propodeum 
  but 
  half 
  

   complete, 
  and 
  the 
  scape 
  less 
  coloured. 
  The 
  species 
  are 
  congeneric. 
  

   The 
  validity 
  of 
  AsTjmpiesiella 
  must 
  be 
  left 
  for 
  later 
  treatment.
