Some of these parasites are themselves subject to attack by other parasites (hyper-parasitism). No stage that insects pass through is free from parasitism, beginning with the e^g state. Here is a wide field for investigation. I am indebted to the Rev. T. A. Marshall, M.A., and to the late Mr. J. B. Bridgman of Norwich, for the determination of many of the following species. The Pinacographia of Snellen van VoUenhoven has been very useful to me. CHRYSIDIDiE Cleptes semiaurata, Latr. A parasite of sawfly larvae Homalus auratus, Dahlb.
