5. Keport on the Parasitic Hymenoptera of the Island of 

 Grenada^ comprising the Families Cynipidoe, Ichneu- 

 monidae, Braconida, and Proctotrypidce. By William 



H. AsHMEAD.^ 



[Eeceived October 18, 1895.] 



Through the kindness of Dr. C. V. Eiley, I have been enabled to 

 furnish the report upon the specimens of parasitic Hymenoptera, 

 comprising the families Cympidce, Ichneumonidce, Braconidce, and 

 Proctotrypidce, collected by Mr. Herbert H. Smith in the Island of 

 Grenada. The collection was transmitted to Dr. Eiley to be 

 worked up, by Dr. David Sharp on behalf of the Committee for 

 investigating the Flora and Fauna of the West-Indian Islands. 



In the families Ichneumonidce and Braconidce comparatively few 

 specimens were taken, and, although some few species were found 

 to be new to science, the majority were already known, many of 

 them having been described quite recently by the writer in his 

 report upon the St. Vincent Hymenoptera. 



The family Ichneumonidce was represented by only nine species, 



» Communicated by Dr. D. Sharp, F.E.S., P.Z.S., on behalf of the Committee 

 for investigating the Flora and Fauna of the West-Indian Islands.
