ENTOMOPHAGA 



Few species of insects are wholly free from attack by some of the 

 entomophagous Hymenoptera, and many are subject to attack by one, 

 two or more species. Some of these parasites are themselves subject to 

 attack by other parasites (hyper-parasitism). No stage that insects pass 

 through is free from parasitism, beginning with the e^g state. Here is 

 a wide field for investigation. 



I am indebted to the Rev. T. A. Marshall, M.A., and to the late 

 Mr. J. B. Bridgman of Norwich, for the determination of many of the 

 following species. The Pinacographia of Snellen van VoUenhoven has 

 been very useful to me.
