Extract

Nearly all the Chalcidid parasites of Coccidæ belong to the subfamilies Aphelininæ and Encyrtinæ. So universal is this rule that it is remarkable to rear anything else from a Coccid (excluding, of course, hyperparasites). One or two Mymarids and the species of the curious subfamily Signiphorinæ live in the eggs of scale insects, and we are just beginning to realize that there is a peculiar group of genera allied to the old subfamily Pireninæ which also have this habit.

* Representatives of Pachyneuron, Euneura, and Hypsicamara have been reared from Coccidæ, but those of Pachyneuron are almost certainly hyperparasites, and the others may be; while the species of Tetrastichus quite commonly so reared are undoubtedly secondary.
