Excerpt from Revision of the Aphelininae of North America: A Subfamily of Hymenopterous Parasites of the Family Chalcididae The insects Of this subfamily are all, so far as we know, parasitic either upon the Coccidze, Aleyrodidae, or Aphididae. They are evidently many-brooded, and issue from their hosts indifferently throughout the warmer months Of the year, and through the winter in the insectary.

Excerpt from Revision of the Aphelininae of North America: A Subfamily of Hymenopterous Parasites of the Family Chalcididae The insects Of this subfamily are all, so far as we know, parasitic either upon the Coccidze, Aleyrodidae, or Aphididae. They are evidently many-brooded, and issue from their hosts indifferently throughout the warmer months Of the year, and through the winter in the insectary. With the Aleyrodidae, Aphididae, and the Diaspinae among the Coccidae, but one specimen, apparently, issues from a single host insect. With the larger naked scale insects, however, several parasites may issue from a single host. Sufi'icient Observations have not been made upon the early stages of the Aphelininae. Their larvae feed both upon the body of the scale insect and upon the eggs. They attack both sexes Of the host, issuing when full grown through circular holes cut through the body walls, and, in the case Of the Diaspinae, through the scale. With the scale insects Of the genus Pulaincwn'a, the aphelinine larvae live within the body Of the female and not in the waxy egg mass which she secretes.
