In your Issue of the M.A.J.for this month (march)I find an article on "A new energy of the hony bee"by Messrs M.C.Cherian and V.Mahadevan.In the Introductory paragraph of the paper the authors while refering to a few previously known enemies of the honey bee have,I find,not made any refrence to another wasp enemy of the honet bee recorded before from S.India with almost the same habits as palarus and belonging to the same family Sphegidae.I would invite their attention to the following published papers containing information on it.
