On wasps and flies.

Quelet says that the fungus called Isaria sphecophila , Dit- 
mar, in Sturm’s Deutschl. Flora, iii, p. 115, tab. 57, is the 
conidial form of the present species, and hence called it 
Cordyeeps Ditmari. I have received a Cordyeeps agreeing 
exactly with Quelet’s description, and accompanied by Isaria 
sphecophila , Ditm. from Ireland, collected by Dr. McWeeney. 
It was growing on the remains of a large bluebottle-like fly.

On the larva of Helops caraboides , Panz. 
Distrib. — France. 
The present fungus was first described by Quelet as 
C. larvicola , growing on some undetermined larva. The 
year following this the same fungus was collected by Boudier, 
and its host determined as Helops caraboides , Panz. There- 
upon Quelet re- described the fungus, calling it C. Helopis , 
giving C. larvicola as a synonym. The oldest name is re- 
stored in the present work.
