notes<\/h3>\n

Parnell cites four species of Chalcidoidea of which the larvae occur as carnivores in the galls of C. pulchripes<\/em>. About one of them, Systasis encyrtoides<\/em>, he writes that the larva hibernates in a \u201csiken cocoon\u201d and pupates after the winter. Because in Chalcidoidea cocoons are a rare phenomenon, it is probable that this is the species of the non-cecidomyiid larvae in the pods.<\/p>\n
