 adopted, the following list shows the difference in that and the 

 present catalogue by families. The figures following the family 

 are the number of species in this catalogue; the second series,

Additions to the Hymenoptera of Jamaica. 



By T. D. A. COCKERELL. 



Having just prepared a list of the Hymenoptera of this island, 

 I find I have notes on a few species apparently not yet recorded, 

 as follows: i. Catolacais sp. [L. O. Howard]; Kingston. — 2. Co- 

 thonaspis sp. [L. O. Howard]; Kingston. — 3, Cyrtogaster sp. 

 [C. V. Riley]; bred from cocoons of Apanteles found by Mr.

 centricum MsLyr . , [E. Andr6]; Moneagne. — 6. Holcopelte s^t. [L. 

 O. Howard]; a green species with white legs, bred by Mr. J. J, 

 Bowrey from cocoons of Apanteles. — 7. Larra (^Notogonia) tri- 

 fasciata Sm. [W. J. Fox]; Kingston, given to me by Mr. L. M.
