Extract

The Imperial Institute of Entomology has received from Mr. N. C. E. Miller, from Malaya, some interesting Chalcids, which have been bred from the eggs of Batocera rubus, L. Parasites of Cerambycidae are generally little known everywhere and only very-few egg-parasites of beetles have yet been described. Mr. Miller's breedings are therefore of special interest and importance. We understand that he has made some biological observations, which he intends to publish; therefore, although very few specimens of these parasites have been received so far, we venture to describe them here with the material at hand. One species belongs to the Cleonymidae and to a very striking new genus, which can be confused with no other known genera; the other is the first species of Ooencyrtus known to attack eggs of Coleoptera.
