The omissions in the above list seem remarkable. For instance the imago 

 of P. machaon is bred annually in hundreds from pupse taken in the fens, 

 surely some of these pupse result in parasites, but not a single instance of 

 such a thing has been recorded. 



The larvse of P. uapi, being much like that of rapce, perhaps the latter has 

 been credited with the parasites of the former ; in the volume published in 

 1885, by the Ray Society, and containing Mr, Buckler's figures of the butter- 



Nos. i and 2 are hyper-parasites on A . glomeratus. 

 No. 3. One of the Chalcidida, bred from the pupa. 



No. 4. A dipteron, generally escaping from the larva, but sometimes changing within 

 the pupa of the victim. 



No. 5. Pupa from Baklar, Turkey. The parasite has been captured in Devonshire, 

 and bred from a Noctua, by Bridgman. 



No. 6. This parasite does not leave its host, but forms a pupa within, consequently 

 the skin of the unfortunate larva gives it an extra protection. 



No. 7. Hyper-parasite on L. vulgaris. 



No. 8. I have not the slightest doubt but that this is the hyper-parasite of L. sordida. 

 No. 9. Hyper-parasite on M. subcompletus. 



No. 10. This is generally a hyper-parasite, but no trace of a victim could be found, 

 consequently I presume it was a direct parasite. 

 No. 11. The same remarks apply to this species as to L. vulgaris in note. 6.
