Ameloctonus n. sp., determined by Mr. H. L. Viereck, was reared from the larva of this moth at Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1911, by Mr. T. H. Parks, of" this office. The cocoon of the parasite was spun on August 17, and the adult parasite emerged on August 23. One of the alfalfa looper larvae in the insectary rearing cages started to spin a cocoon on January 11, 1909. On examining the cocoon two days later it was found to contain puparia of Flagia americana Van der Wulp, one entirely and one partly within the dried larval skin.
