A Preliminary List of the Hymenopterous Parasites of 

 Lepidoptera in Hawaii. 



BY OTTO H, SWEZEY. 



While collecting and rearing larvae in my life-history stud- 

 ies of Hawaiian Lepidoptera during the past ten years, I have 

 secured a good many records and notes on their parasites. Often 

 when I have collected a batch of caterpillars in the mountains 

 and brought them in for rearing, I would get no adult moths, 

 but all specimens yielded parasites instead. I have thought it 

 advisable to publish the list of parasites and any observations 

 on their habits that I have thus far obtained. I have embodied 

 also parasite records of other observers : Dr. R. C. L. Perkins, 

 D. T. Fullaway, W. M. Giffard, E. M. Ehrhorn, F. W. Terry, 

 and H. O. Marsh. 



The parasites of cosmopolitan and introduced Lepidoptera 

 are included with the others Most of the parasites treated of
