Microplitis alvearia {Fab.) 



At page 40 of Mr. Roebuck's first report will be found a 

 record of Microplitis alvearia (Fab.), which was inserted as he 

 informs me by mistake, and not discovered until too late to 

 rectify. It seems that though the specimens of Dasypolia Templi 

 were from Yorkshire, yet that the parasites were not. However 

 the species is a common one, and will no doubt be re-eligible for 

 admission into our lists after further research. Possibly it is the 

 same species as was recorded as existing in a single example of 

 D. Templi to the number of no less than 447. This was near 

 Scarborough (Thos. Wilkinson, E. M. M., April 1867, iii. 264).
