CATALOGUE OF THE PHYTOPHAGOUS AND PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA OF VANCOUVER ISLAND

Extract

The following list is based upon a very interesting collection made, chiefly at Cedar Hill, near Victoria, by the Rev. G. W. Taylor, F.R.S.C., but includes such other species as I have found described, or recorded from Vancouver Island. Even with such additions it is a short list in comparison with those that could be compiled from much less extensive areas in Ontario. British Columbia has, as yet, had but few resident entomologists, and its rich fauna is, in consequence, but poorly known. Butterflies and beetles have been fairly well collected, but in other directions there are almost unexplored fields for investigation.
