Item The Internal Anatomy Of Oorioxenos Antestiae Blair (Strepsiptera)(1936) Cooper, B.; Kirkpatrick, T.WOorioxenos antestiae is an endoparasite of Antestia spp. (PENTATOMIDAE) the" Variegated Coffee-bug," which is one of the major pests of Ooffea arahica in East Mrica. The parasite has recently been described by Blair (1936), and an account of its bionomics and host-relations has been published by Kirkpatrick (1937).Item Notes on a Species of Epipyropidae (Lepidoptera) Parasitic on Metaphaena Species (Hemiptera Fulgoridae) at Amani, Tanganyika(1947) Kirkpatrick, T.WThe first-instar larva is exceedingly active although, like so many migratory first stage parasitic larvae of different orders of insects, it frequently stops walking, erects the anterior part of its body and waves itself from side to side. In the laboratory they only survive for two or three days-a very few for five days-in the absence of a host. Presumably they find a host by random searching. Having found a host, the larva takes up its position on the dorsum of the abdomen with its head directed towards the posterior end of the host.Item Notes On A Species Of Epipyropidae (Lepidoptera) Parasitic On Metaphaena Species (Hemiptera Fulgoridae) At Amani, Tanganyika(1947) Kirkpatrick, T.WSINCE it is believed that this is the second record of EPIPYROPIDAE from Africa, the following biological notes, though very incomplete, should be of interest.
