  Mr. 
  E. 
  A. 
  MacGregor, 
  who 
  reared 
  this 
  species 
  both 
  in 
  1912 
  and 
  1913 
  

   from 
  red 
  spiders 
  on 
  cotton, 
  is 
  of 
  opinion 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  most 
  important 
  

   natural 
  agent 
  in 
  controUing 
  this 
  pest. 
  The 
  new 
  species 
  is 
  alUed 
  to 
  

   A. 
  apiphila, 
  Felt, 
  and 
  is 
  distinct 
  from 
  A. 
  occidentalism 
  Felt, 
  which 
  is 
  

   recorded 
  as 
  preying 
  upon 
  red 
  spiders 
  in 
  California.
