Abstract
The life-history, habits, and development ofSpilochalcis side(Walk.) (torvinaCress.) were investigated at Belleville during studies on the parasites of needle miners,Recurvariaspp., attacking lodgepole pine,Pinus contortaDougl. var.latifoliaEngelm.Burks (1940) recorded this species as a parasite of species of the following families of Lepidoptera: Noctuidae, Gelechiidae, Eucosmidae, Glyphipterygidac, Plutellidae, Ypononleutidae, Coleophoridae, and Lyonetiidae. He also recorded it from Coleoptera (Curculionidae) and from Hymenoptera (Ichneumonidae and Braconidae). Doner (1936) stated that it parasitized small numbers of pupae of the cherry casebearer,Coleophora pruniellaClem., each year from 1930 to 1933 at the University of Wisconsin Experiment Station at Sturgeon Bay, Door County, Wisconsin. It was reared at Belleville on pupae ofDepressaria heracliana(L.),Anagasta kühniella(Zell.),Galleria mellonellaL., andPyrausta nubilalis(Hbn.) (Lepidoptera); in the cocoons ofApanteles atalantae(Pack.),A. congregatus(Say), andA. glomeratus(L.) (Hymenoptera); and in an unidentified coleopterous casebearer.
