INSECTARY REARINGS OF TWO SPECIES OF MORDELLISTENA
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
Mordellistena pustulata, Mels., was reared June 6th, 1899, from stems of Ambrosia trifida, Giant Ragweed, collected October 13th, 1898. From the same species of plant collected November 10th, 1899, this insect was reared April 4th, May 12th and 31st, 1900.
Mr. Coquillett has found larvæ of this species in plant stems, under circumstances that render it highly probable that they were feeding on Lepidopterous larvæ. The stems of the Giant Ragweed are populated by Lepidopterous, Dipterous, Coleopterous and Hymenopterous larvæ. In my case only by Coleopterous and Hymenopterous larvæ.
