Eurytoma holtcri, Jliloy, I c. p. 1 77, pi. 2. flg. 0, Missouri. 
Eupelmus guencci [sic], Qiraud, 1. c. p. 487, Europe. 
Westwood (? ; under the initials “ I. O. W.”) mentions and figures in 
tlio ‘Gardeners’ Chronicle,’ 1869, p. 1230, a species of the Eurytomides be- 
longing to the genus Isosoma, and for which (without describing it) he pro- 
poses the name Isosoma orcJiidearum. PupfB of both sexes of this insect 
were found, in company with uninjui'ed Curculionideous larvse, between the 
overlapping leaves of an undetermined exotic species of the Orchidaceae. 
The circumstances seem to corroborate Walsh’s opinion that Isosoma is a 
vegetable feeder, and not, like the rest of the Chalcididco, insectivorous. 
Ptcromalus verditer, Norton, Trans. Amor. Ent. Soc, ii. p. 327, bred from 
cocoons of Lophyrus abietis, Connecticut. 
{Cheiropaclms [sic] ?) nigrocyaneus, Norton, ibid., also bred from cocoons of 
Lophyrus ahietis, Connecticut. 
Proctotrypid.®. 
The three genera Spilomicrus, Lexotropa, and Dryinus, placed among the 
Vhalcididm on p. 303 of tlio ‘ Record ’ for 1868, should have been arranged 
under the heading rroctotrypidas. 
Westwood refers to a Calyoza from Port Natal with pectinated 13-jointed 
antonnre in both sexes, and corrects an error in vol. ii. of Trans. Ent. Soc. 
Loud. p. 56, where the S is represented with the aiitenuso 12-jointed (Proc. 
Ent. Soc. Lond. 1869, p. 11). 
Gallicol.®. 
Forster (Verb, zool.-bot. Gesellscb. Wien, xix. pp. 327-370), 
anticipating bis promised monograpb of tbe species of this 
group, gives synoptical tables of tbe seven families into wbicb 
be divides it, and of tbe genera tberein contained. Those 
families arc : — 1, tbe Ihaloidoi ; 2, Cynijohoidm (in relation to 
wbicb and its allies be notes Hartig^s error — corrected by Rein- 
bard — of tbe first, instead of the second, segment of tbe abdo- 
men being fully half as long as or longer than tbe rest of tbe 
abdomen); Allotrioid< 2 ', 4^, Euc(sloid(B ; Megajjelmoidce ) 6, 
Onychioidoi and 7, Figitoidoi. Considering tbe Gallicolca as 
one family, usually termed CynipidcBy these must be treated as 
subfamilies. 
1. The iBALOiDyE, restricted in Europe to a single genus and 
species, Ibalia cultellator (Latr.), receive no further elucidation. 
2. CYNipiioiDiE. In this division (including 27 genera, of 
which several are new) the following observations occur: — 
IWas (Ilartig) is changed to Dryoteras, being already used in 
i\\G Lepidoptera (cf. ^ Record^ 18G8, wherein is noted tbe Re- 
corder’s change of Teras to Diplolejns, for the same reason) ; 
Trigonapsis crustalis (lluvi,) =7negapte7'a (Panz.) ; tbe of 
Pha7iacis centaureai (Forst.) has at last occurred to tbe author, 
and appears to differ widely from the ? in its colour and ex- 
tremely abbreviated wings ; Aulax spleTidens (Hart.) = {Xesto^ 
phaTies) pote7itili(S {De YiU.).
