Braconides. 
Re IN HARD has published a third part of his Contributions 
towards the knowledge of the genera of Braconidse (Berl. ent. 
Zeitschr. 1865, pp. 243-267): — 
To the genus Rogas he adds notes on R. cruentus (Nees), ddmidiatus 
(Spin.), zygccna> (Neef?) = 7>/cofor (Spin.), var., and procerus (Wesm.), 1. c. 
p. 2 13. Of Pclccgsfoyna (Wesm.) ho describes the two known species, P. l?f~ 
tcum (Nees) and P. tricolor (Wesm.), 1. c. p. 244. Of Pctalodes (Wesm.) 
Reinhard gives a reformed diagnosis, taking account of the characters of the 
cf , and describes the only known species, P. unicolor (Wesm.), 1. c. p. 245. 
The genus Doryctes Qln\.) = Ischiozo7ius (Wesm.) is characterized by the 
author, 1. c. p. 246 ; and the thirteen known species are tabulated, /. c. p. 247. 
The previously described species areP. im 2 Jerator(Ha\.), longicattdis (GhsiVid) , 
igneus (Ratz.), leucogaster (Nees) = eryth) ogaster (Wesm.), ohliteratus (Nees), 
strialellus (]^o,o,^ — ohliteratm (Wesm.), undulatus (Ratz.), and spathiiformis 
= ohliteratus (Hal.). Bracon nohilis (Nees) and B.fuscatus (Nees) 
also probably belong to Doryctes. Orgilus (Hal.) — Iscliius (Wesm.) is cha- 
racterized 1. c. pp. 260-262, and its four species are tabulated on p. 263. 
These are O. ohscurator (Nees), rnhrator (Ratz.), rugosus (Nees), and punc- 
tulator (Nees). Laccophrys (Forster), 1. c. p. 206, includes Opius ceplialotes 
(Ratz.) and ruhriceps (Ratz.) 5 the former is figured on plate 3. fig. 6 . 
Microgaster glonieratus is described and figured by Taschenberg (Naturg. 
wirbell. Thiere, p. 93, pi. 3. figs. 3 & 4). 
Miss Pasley records the hatching of an imago of Pieris rupee with two of 
the little yellow cocoons of Microgaster glomerulus^ containing pupm, rolled 
up in the wings.” Ent. M. Mag. i. p. 281. 
Moncreaff (Entomologist, ii. pp. 146-146) records the occurrence of the 
pupae of parasitic Ilymenoptera in the cocoons of some IMoths along with the 
piipre of the moths. On opening the cocoon of an Acronycta he found the 
included larva in the act of throwing off its skin, and with the skin six small 
Il 3 ^menopter 0 iis larvae. 
New genera : — 
Rhopalosoma, g. n., Cresson, 1. c. p. 58. True position uncertain, interme- 
diate between Ich. genuini and ndsciti ; antennae with twelve joints in $ ,

R. loocyi, sp. n., Cress. 1. c. p. 69, fig. 6 , from Cuba. 
Chaonia, g. n., Cresson, 1. c. p. 59. Wings as in Bracon, but with first 
submarginal cell larger, irregularly pentagonal, second smaller and shorter ;
