 variety of names, including Dinocampus terminattis Nees, Perilitiis americaniis 

 Rly., and Euphorus sculptus Cress. 



SUBFAMILY METEORINAE 1^2 



This subfamily is comprised of the single genus Meteorus, most of the species of 

 which are internal parasites of lepidopterous larvae, although a few are apparently 

 parasitic on Coleoptera. Some of them are very abundant, and exert a decided check 

 on the increase of injurious species. 



Meteorus Haliday 



M. angustipennis Mues. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., 1923, 63:20. This species has 

 been taken at Ithaca. 



[M. autographae Mues. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., 1923, 63 : 30. Occurs throughout the 

 eastern part of the US, having been recorded from Canada to Fla. It has been 

 reared from larvae of the cabbage looper (Autographa brassicae Rly.), the 

 army worm {Cirphis unipuncta Flaworth), the alfalfa borer (Eurymiis eury- 

 themae Boisd.), and the clover hypena {Plathypena scabra Fab.).]
