Indian forest insects of economic importance Coleoptera . h one life-cycle and the number of gene-rations pissed through in the year resemble those of S. major. Bracon sp.—Some nearly mature species of a Bracon fly were foundin a deodar sapling at the end of the first week in June in the pu|Biting-chambers at the end of the larval galleries of the bark-Parasitic Insect. * borer Scolytus minor. The tree was growing at a 1\\elevation, and the e-.^s \\cre probably laid at tin beginning of May. The insects were too immature to identify further withany certainty. These flies are evidently parasitic upon the larvae of thesmall Scolytus beetle. The eggs are laid by the female insect, who probablypierces through the bark and deposits them in the larval tunnel, or she niavplace them in the entrance-tunnel. The young maggot feeds upon thelarva, and does not kill it until it has reached its full growth and gnawedout its pupal chamber. The other insects mentioned under Scolylns major are predaceous uponthis scolytid. 9003 O O FAMILY SCOLYTIDAE. X8 a,
