No species seems to be known in this family outside of the European and North American faunas, and very few species are described. The group was first treated as a subfamily by Newman as early as 1834.The imagoes appear very early in the year, or in February, March and April, deposit their eggs and then disappear, the consequence being that very few are taken and only a few of the commoner forms are known. With more careful collecting early in the season, however, the probabilities are that many more species will be discovered in our fauna.The imagoes of three distinct species of these insect, representing as many genera, have been bred recently from the larvæ by Dr. H. G. Dyar, and we are not only indebted to him for the first authentic life-history of a species in this group, but also for the first scientific description of the larva. His recent discovery of a large undescribed species in the rare genus Pleuroneura was most unexpected.

Relatively little is known of the life history, ecology and behaviour of most species of Tabanidae. Knowledge of their immature stages is particularly deficient. The larvae of only 46, or about ⅛, of the North American species have been described and many of these descriptions are inadequate. The present research was initiated in 1960 to describe and classify tabanid larvae and to contribute information on larval habitats and life histories.

In the summer of 1889, while engaged in an investigation of the habits and life-history of the horn fly of cattle (Haematobia serrata), the writer at various times brought to Washington from different points in Virginia, large quantities of cow-manure collected in the field, and eventually succeeded in working out the complete life-history of the horn fly, as displayed in Insect Life, Vol. II., No.4, October, 1889. In this article the statement is made, in concluding, that the observations were greatly hindered and rendered difficult by the fact that fresh cow-dung is the nidus for a number of species of Diptera, some about the same size and general appearance as the horn fly, and that no less than twenty distinct species of flies had been reared from horse- and cow-dung, mainly the latter, and six species of parasitic insects as well.

For the opportunity to examine the material on which the following descriptions are based I am indebted to the courtesy of Dr P. A. Buxton and Miss E. Sikes of the London School of Tropical Medicine, where the life-history of certain fleas is being studied. A detailed examination of the parasite showed it to be referable to the Pirenine tribe of the Miscogasteridae—a family of Chalcidoid wasps. The genus and species appeared to be new. The fact, however, that the parasite had been bred from a species of flea known to have been recently introduced into Britain suggested the advisability of comparison with American representatives of the Pirenine group. This has now been done by my friend Mr A. B. Gahan of the Bureau of Entomology, Washington, D.C., to whom my hearty thanks are due. As the result we are agreed that a new genus is required. Bairamlia n.g. has obvious affinities with Pirene Hal., but differs in antennal, neurational and propodeal characters. Ecrizotes Forst. (fide A. B. Gahan) may also be a nearly related genus. genus. As regards the species, I am satisfied that it is very different from anything described by Walker of which material is still extant in the British Museum. Mr Gahan, however, tells me that Pirene marylandensis Gir. (Canad. Ent. 48, p. 116, 1916) is a congeneric though distinct species.

During the course of investigations of the life history of the pine root collar weevil, Hylobius radicis Buchanan, in Wisconsin, a larval parasite was encountered by the junior author. The Braconid adults which emerged represent an undescribed species of the genus Bracon.
