Extract

This is the third paper of a series on the taxonomy of cocoons and puparia, cast larval skins, and other remains of parasitic Hymenoptera and Diptera that are found in or near the remains of parasitized hosts hfter the parasites have emerged. It deals with the known Canadian parasites of the introduced pine sawfly, Diprion similis (Htg.); previous papers dealt with the known Canadian parasites of the European pine sawfly, Neodiprion sertifer (Geoff.) (Finlayson, 1960a) and the European spruce sawfly, Diprion hercyniae (Mtg.) (Finlayson, 1960b). Parasites of D. similis that werk encountered in either of the nvd previous papers in the series are not described or illustrated here.
