Extract

The following brief contribution summarises a part of the contents of an extensive Russian report on parasites of the egg-pods of some Turkestan Acridodea, studied by the writer while on the staff of the Middle-Asian Institute of Plant Protection (Tashkent, U.S.S.R.), in the years 1927–30.

The writer is specially indebted to Mr. V. I. Plotnikov, Director of the Institute, under whose supervision the work was done, and who kindly identified the Acridian hosts ; and for the identification of the parasites reared, to Messrs. A. A. Ogloblin, Santa-Anna (Scelionidae), S. J. Paramonov, Kiev (Bombyliidae), B. B. Rohdendorf, Leningrad (Tachinidae) and B. S. Kuzin, Moscow (Meloidae). The author's thanks are due also to Mr. B. P. Uvarov, for his kind assistance in the publication of this note.

* The first part of this work, dealing with Coleopterous parasites, will be published as Bulletin No. 23 of the Middle-Asian Institute of Plant Protection, Tashkent, 1931.

† Some species of Mylabris were determined by the writer.

* The figure of the pseudopupa of E. erythrocephala, given by Portchinski (1914), is incorrect.

† Portchinski's (1914) figure of this stage is wrong ; the larva figured is probably that of M. 4-punctata (5th instar).

* Modern taxonomists generally treat M. atrata and M. biguttata as varieties of the same species, M. polvmorpha, Pall. This is, however, incorrect, the primary larvae of the two recorded species being very distinct.
