Note: This is rather a common species in 
various tropical regions of the 
world. 
syagrii (Fullaway) 
Fullaway [Ischwgoms] (1922: 201) & 9 
descr., host. 
Loc: New South Wales. 
Host: Syagrms fulvitarsis Pasc. (fern weev- 
il). 
Type: N.K. 
Note: Fullaway (1921: 101, 114) records 
a species of Doryctes parasitic on the 
fern weevil ( Syagrius fulvitarsis) from 
New South Wales. This probably is 
the same species as recorded above.

introduced species 
I am indebted to Mr. Frank Wilson, Prin- 
cipal Research Officer, C.S.I.R.O., Entomolo- 
gy Division, for the following list of braconids 
introduced into Australia in connection with 
biological control. No information is available 
on the extent to which they have become 
established in the various localities in which 
they were liberated. 
'^Apanteles ruhecula Marshall. 
'^Apanteles glomeratus Linn. 
Ascogaster carpocapsae Vier. {A. quadridenta- 
tus Wesm.) 
Bassus diversus (Mues.) {Agathis diversus) 
Chelonus phthorimaeae Gahan 
^ Macrocentrus ancylivorus Rohwer 
Microhracon gelechiae Ashmead {Bracon ge- 
lechiae) 
Triaspis thoracicus (Say) (T. sayi Mues. and 
Walkley.) 
The above species are listed under the names 
by which they are generally referred to in the 
literature, the correct nomenclature is given 
in parentheses where this is different. 
Species that have become definitely estab- 
lished are marked with an asterisk and in- 
cluded in the body of the catalogue.
