REPORT OF STATE ENTOMOLOGIST, 1898 171 Bathythrix pimplae How., Adistola mjiericana How., Otaciistes periliti Ashm., Habrocyiics thyridopterigis Ashm., Pezomachus ifisolitus How., Spilochalcis debilis Say, Etpelmiis limiieriae How., Dihrachys boiicheanus Ratz., Elachistus cacoeciae How., Elasmiis atratiis How., Syntomosphy- rum esiirus Riley and Asecodes albitarsis Ashm. A number of scavengers were reared by Dr Howard from the pupae or masses of cocoons. The list is as follows : Helicobla helicis Fig. 4 DiBRACHYS BoucHEANUs:"«, larva; by pupa; r, adult femaleâgreatly enlarged; '<f, head of larva; ^, antenna of adultâstill more enlarged (after Howard; U. S. Dep't agriculture, Divi- sion entomology. Tech. ser. no. 5, 1897). Sarcophaga species, Phora nigriceps Loew, Phora hicisuralis Leow, Phora fasciata Fall., Phora agarici Ljntn., Limosiiia species, Hoinalomyia scala- ris Fabr., Gaurax ancJiora Loew, Neoglaphyroptera bivittata Say and Diplosis species. This and the preceding hsts illustrate in a remarkable degree the large number of forms that may depend more or less upon one species, and afford interesting examples of the relations that may exist between various insects. In addition to these, a Eulophid was reared in some niimbers from the cocoons of Notolophus by Dr Lintner in 1883 and 1884. A der- mestid beetle, Perimegatojua variegatiim Horn, has been recorded in Insect life as a very effective destroyer of the eggs of Notolophus in California. The wheel bug, Prionodus cristatus Linn., is said to prey upon the larvae in the southern states. The present season a mite, a species of "â Rhyncholophus^ was observed eating the contents of many eggs. Determined through the courtesy of Dr L. O.
