Fitch (1865, p. 225), but in what stage is unknown. The latter 
author’s supposition that a single female deposited a hundred or 
more eggs is not founded on a good premise, for it is clear that 
more than one female may have been concerned. The parasite is 
solitary, a single one emerging from the cocoon of its host and 
there is good evidence to show that it deposits its eggs into or on 
the fullgrown larva or recent pupa of its host within its cocoon.
