Transcription Notes:
"proctolypid" possibly misspelling but related to Proctotrupids? Have also solved a couple of the [[?]] - @siobhanleachman ----went over page and found some three things to add in. It helps to go out to Google and it gets interesting because one of the insects he is looking at is the solitary bee such as N. flavoguttata which might be in my backyard. What fun.
