Colless (all other families), both of the above address. We are 
also indebted to Drs. Colless and Norris for information on the 
sex and biology of the flies used as prey. Specimens of the prey, 
wasps and associated parasites have been deposited in the Australian 
National Insect Collection, Canberra, and in the Museum of Com- 
parative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 
U. S. A. These bear our note numbers as referred to in the text.
