Extract

In connection with investigations into the life-history, etc., of Glossina morsitans in Northern Rhodesia, special efforts have recently been made to secure parasitesof the fly. As a result, a considerable number of Chalcidoids have been bred frompuparia collected between August and December of last year at Kashitu (LI. Lloyd)and Mwengwa (R. A. F. Eminson). These interesting Hymenoptera have now beenforwarded to the Imperial Bureau of Entomology by Mr. Lloyd, Chief Entomologistin Northern Rhodesia, with the parasitised puparia and some relevant notes. Onthis material the present report is based. The collection contains three species, representing as many widely separated groups in the superfamily Chalcidoidea.Two believed to be new are described below, the types being deposited in the British Museum.
