In July 1913, while collecting the larvæ of the large Pine Weevil (Hylobius abietis), I discovered a number of tiny larvæ feeding on some of them. These I succeeded in rearing, and they proved to be the larvæ of a Bracon which seemed to be B. hylobii . In July 1914 I recorded my experiments and observations. * In this record I stated that my identification of the species was based on Ratzeburg's description.† All the specimens I examined—and I have examined many—agree, for the most part, with his description of B. hylobii . In April 1914, specimens were sent for determination to Dr Szeplegeti, the authority for the family, in Budapest, but so far no reply has been received.
