1. The parasitic chalcid Melittobia chalybii Ashm. occurs in two forms, the type-form and the short-lived or second-form. The production of one or the other of these two forms is determined by the trophic conditions obtaining during the growth of the larva. A third form of female was obtainable experimentally and very rarely in the normal cultures.2. The males of the second-form differ from the type-form in their darker color and in the more aborted condition of their optic organs. The females of the second-form differ from typical females in their lighter color, in the failure of their wings to spread upon emerging from the pupa, in the large swollen condition of the abdomen which is full of ripe eggs at the time of emergence, and in the shortness of their imaginal life. Both sexes of the second-form emerge as adults in a minimum of fourteen days after oviposition compared with the ninety days required for the development of individuals of the type-form.3. The life history is as follows: A female of the ...
