This parasite was also reared from the pupae of an unidentified tortrieid found feeding on the leaves of sugar beet at the same places. Three species of Hymenop- terous parasites were reared, but with the exception of the one noted below it was im- IDOSsible to tell whether they were bred from larvae or pupa?.

Three species of Hymenop- terous parasites were reared, but with the exception of the one noted below it was im- IDOSsible to tell whether they were bred from larvae or pupa?. They were identified by Dr. W. H. Ashmead, of the United States Xa- tional Museum, as Chelonus iridescens Cr., Spiloehcdeis tor- vina Cr., and Habro- hracon hebetor Say. Specimens of Che- lonus iridescens (fig. 13), issued from pupae of the crown borer in early October. This parasite is represented in the National Museum collections by specimens from Agricultural Col- lege, Mich.; Washington, D. C.: South Dakota; Colorado; Wyoming; Corvallis, Oreg.; (xar- lancl, Utah; Kukak Bay, Alaska; East on. Wash., and San Diego, Cal. The last of these specimens (bearing the U. S. Dept. Agr. No. T97P°) was bred from a phyticid larva (or from the pupa) found feeding in the seed pods of Aphyllon tuberosum. This spe- cies is entirely black except the legs, which are marked with pale yellow; about 4 mm. in length; verj^ rugosely punctured on thorax with longitudinal striae on abdomen. But one specimen of Habrobracon hebetor Say was reared from the. Fig. 13.—Chelontis iridescens—\j enlarged ("original)..
