Extract

The Tachinid fly parasite of Diatraea saccharalis, F. (sugar-cane moth borer), which forms the subject of the present paper, was described in 1916 by Dr. C. H. T. Townsend1 under the name Euzenilliopsis diatraeae. In 1924, Dr. J. M. Aldrich6 pointed out that Dr. Townsend's new genus was untenable and referred E. diatraeae to Lixophaga, Towns., of which Euzenilliopsis, Towns., is now considered a synonym. In certain of the earlier papers in which this fly is mentioned as a parasite of D. saccharalis, it is referred to as Tachinophyto (Hypostena) sp.
