Slaktet Oophthora st&r tydligen mycket nara Trichogramma Wetsw.,

(pp. 251-253) : 
Aurivillius omitted Paracentrobia Howard, which I am now 
certain is the same as Chaetostricha Haliday, but adds Calleptiles 
Haliday, formerly omitted by other authors but which I think is 
valid. He also omits Pentarthron Riley which was not very ade- 
quately described and has been rightly considered a synonym of 
Trichogramma; yet strict adherence to the code makes it necessary 
to accept that genus for Oophthora , described as new here by Auri- 
villius, since the two are apparently the same and Aurivillius 
himself admits this indirectly by saying that Riley’s species 
minutum and pretiosum belong to Oophthora. If Pentarthron 
is valid it undoubtedly must take precedence over the other name. 14 
Aurivillius also makes Lathromeris Foerster a synonym of Chaeto- 
stricha Haliday, though upon what grounds is not explained. The 
two genera are distinct, as has been pointed out by Howard (1898) 
Prestwichia Lubbock is also omitted from a place in the family, 
attention being called to it in a footnote — “Hie etiam ponendum 
genus Prestwichia Lubbock (Trans. Linn. Soc., 24, p. 140, 1863) 
nondum rite cognitum.” 
In the year following de Dalla Torre’s (1898) catalogue of the 
Hymenoptera appeared and though containing many minor errors

Footnotes 5-13 are numbered 1-9 in the original paper. The numbers
