A LIST OF PARASITES KNOWN TO ATTACK AMERICAN RHYNCHOPHORA Downloaded from By W. DWIGHT PIERCE, Burean of Entomology, U. S. Dept. of A{j'rieu1ture As the weevils become more important economically there will be a growing necessity of understanding the parasites which ::nay check their injuries. A preliminary list of these parasites was published by the writer in Bulletin 73 of the Bureau of Entomology, without, http://jee.oxfordjournals.org/ however, indicating the sources of the records. Since that time many other important records have been added, and if all the species bred by the boll weevil investigation force were determined, double the number of additions could be included. The credit for parasite breeding records made at the boll weevil laboratory during 1907 and 1908 must be shared equally by the
