Note 2 — Chapter xv · THE CIONUS
Reading edition
The anonymous parasite hatched in my jars has no implement similar to that of the Leucospis,2 the chief of the Chalcididæ; it has no probe which is able to penetrate a wall and place the egg, at some distance, on the food-ration. Her germ, therefore, was laid in the very flanks of the Cionus’ larva, before the latter had built its shell.
