Abstract

In a recent and very useful summary of our present knowledge of phytophagous Chalcids (Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., xxiv, no. 2, Feb. 1922) Mr. A. B. Gahan describes (p. 55, pl. vii, fig. 2, 2a) a new Eurytomid, Harmolita phyllostachitis (bred from Phyllostachys bambusoides in California), which is apparently the only Chalcid hitherto reared from such host-plants. I owe to the Director of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology the opportunity of bringing forward a second Harmolita with the same general habit, but from a widely separated region.
