This revision of the sub-family Encyrtides is based upon an examina- 
tion, amongst others, of the types of Dalman, Ratzeburg, and Nees, the 
collections of Yon Hey den & Forster, and the Vienna Museum, contain- 
ing Kollar’s, Tschek’s, and Rogenhofer’s species. Dalman’s species are 
tabulated with their modern equivalents (p. 676) ; and, after a history 
of the group, a notice of the most salient generic features of some of 
its members, a table of the insects of various orders upon which the 
species are known to be parasitic, and analytical tables of the genera by 
male and female characters, the known species are described in detail, 
also by sexes. 
The following observations occur: — Rhopus piso. Walk., Forst., = 
testaceus, Ratz. ; Cerchysius, Westw., is not generically separable from 
Phcyrtus] E. yuwaVws, Walk., = meZawaas, Dalm. ; E. eyrphi, Ratz.,-
