F. Low records the insects from which he has bred species of ChalciSf 
EncyrtuSy Eurytoma^ Siphonura^ and Tetrastichus, Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. in 
Wien, xvi. pp. 962-953. 
Giuaud records the occurrence of more than 60 specimens of a Chalcidite, 
named by Sichel Phasganophora, or Conura hauliinim^ sp. n., in a cocoon of 
Attacus bauhinicB (Gii6r.). Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s6r. vi. p. 427. 
Phasyanopliora. Sichel, in his memoir on Phasganophora and 
Conura (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ser. v. pp. 345-396), after the 
table of genera of the Chalcidoidcs given in the Record for 1865 
(pp. 559, 560), discusses the relationships of those genera, of 
the former of which he mentions that he has detected in col- 
lections and in the writings of entomologists no fewer than 13 
species from all parts of the world except Australia. The de~ 
scrihedspeciesoiPhasganophora are: — Chalcis conigastra (Perty), 
Brazil; P. condalus (Walk.), Brazil; P. sulcata (Westw.), North 
America?; Chalcis rubens (King), Dongola; C. decor ata (Klug), 
Arabia; C. pyramidea (Fab.), Cayenne; C. caudatus (Guer.), 
Brazil ; and C. conica (Fab.) *, Pyrenees. The rest are described 
by Sichel as new. Sichel gives a detailed description of the 
characters of the genus, and a tabular synopsis of the species, 
whieh he arranges in the subgenera Phasganophora, Trigonura, 
and Allocera, the eharaeters of which are indicated in his 
generic table (Reeord, 1865, /. c.) but somewhat modified in 
the table of subgenera and species (pp. 357-360), as shown 
below : — 
I. Tail elongate, composed of the hypopygium and terebra; epipygium 
short ; metathorax bituberculate on each side. 
A. Abdomen subsessile, petiole short or nearly wanting (Phasganophorte 
chalcidiformes). 
a. Antennae inserted on the forehead, short j scape nearly half length 
of head Genus Phasganophora. 
1. Tail compressed, ensiform Subg. Phasganophora. 
2. Tail depressed, subtriangular Subg. Trigonura. 
b. Antennae inserted near mouth, at least as long as head and thorax ; 
scape nearly as long as head (Phasganophora halticellceformes). 
1. Anterior surface of head subquadrate; segment 1 of abdomen 
much longer than the rest Subg. Allocera. 
B. Abdomen petiolated. (Phasgan. smicriformes'). 
II. Tail elongate, composed of the epipygium, hypopygium, and terebra ; 
metathorax unarmed Genus Conura. 
A. Abdomen subsessile (Conura chalcidiformes). 
Conura s. str. 
B. Abdomen petiolato (^Conura smicriformes). 
Phasganophora. Sichel describes the following new species of this genus : — 
P. rujiventrisj 1. c. p. 360, pi. 9. fig. 4, P. thoracica, 1. c. p. 361, pi. 9. fig. 6, 
* If the insect here described prove distinct from Chalcis conica (Fab.), 
the author proposes for it the name of Phasganophora gallica.
