Ornix avellanella; the male only is described. Eurytoma spec. 
Pteromalus Cordairii, Ra/z., bred by Tischbein, also from 
Terminalis galls. Siphonura viridiznea, 2atz., one female, 
bred by Tischbein from “ Cynips curvator.”. Torymus pro- 
pinquus, Férs!. = Callimome auratus, Fonsc. Mesopolobus 
fasciiventris, Westw., a Pteromalus bred from many oak- 
galls: “ Herr Tischbein again sent me some males in 1850, 
and they were from Cynips fecundatrix and C. curvator.” 
Although there is some little confusion in the above, all the 
. Specimens being bred by Tischbein show that we have 
several species of Chalcidide parasitic in this gall.—Z. A.

Description of the Larva of Hemerophilla abruptaria.— 
Length an inch anda half; head prone, same size as the 2nd 
segment; body cylindrical, gradually increasing to the 11th 
segment; colour very light brown, mottled with various 
shades; the medio-dorsal line increases in width from its 
commencement to the middle of the 5th segment, and also 
deepens in colour; it then assumes a much lighter shade to 
the 8th segment, becoming darker on the folds of the 
segmental divisions; on the lighter portions there are two 
black dots above the middle of each segment, placed trans- 
versely ; the 9th segment is again darker in colour, especially 
towards the edges of the line, which is irregularly defined ; 
the 10th and 11th segments are darker on the divisions; on 
the 12th there is a black line running transversely, and 
assuming the shape of a bow; the sides are mottled with 
various shades of brown, being darkest towards the anterior 
portion of each segment, especially the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th ; 
the spiracles are dark brown ; the ventral surface is more mottled 
than the dorsal, with a black V-shaped mark appearing at 
the commencement of the Sth, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th 
segments; claspers slightly tinged with green, a black line 
on the first pair; the bow-shaped line on the 12th segment 
continues on the llth, running under the 8th spiracle; a 
mark of the same colour runs under the 9th spiracle. I am 
indebted to Mr. R. L. Rolph, of Walthamstow, for the eggs of 
this species.—|[ Rev.] P. H. Jennings.
