Radoszkovsky (/. c. vii. Pull. pp. xix--xxi) supplements the above-men- 
tioned monograph by the observations that 31. austriaca {jnaura S ) bas been 
bred by Giraud from nests of Ammophila heydeni, and 31. coronata by Sichel 
from a colony of Lavra anathema] that M. p>avvicoUis, Costa, is the 5 of 
intata, Luc., and is parasitic upon a Chrysis ; and 31. tabida, Luc., is cer- 
tainly the $ of hottentuta (F.), and is parasitic w^on Lejytochilus niaurita7iicus, 
— these two 3Iutilla;, with niloticaj Kl., having been bred from Algeriaji 
Helix maritima. The author notes that the form of the first abdominal seg- 
ment in the diflerent species coincides with that of the other Ilymenoptera 
upon which they are parasitic.
