Abstract

Third-instar larva, puparium and life history of Rhyncophoromyia maculineura are described. Females of this species parasitize injured workers of Camponotus sericeiventris and possibly also those of Dolichoderus lugens. Larvae develop in the host abdomen, one per host. Limited life history data indicate that this way of life might be shared by other species of this genus.
