Biology |
Controversial, reviewed in Buffington
(2011). Putatively reared from Tephritidae or Drosophilidae (Wharton and
Yoder, 2020) (unlike the rest of the
Diglyphosematini which attack leaf-mining Agromyzidae), but there are no
isolated rearings to confirm this (van Noort et al. 2015; Wharton
and Yoder, 2020). |
