ruficornis (Provancher), revised status. Que. 



Limneria ruficornis Provancher, 1875. Nat. Canad. 7: 147. 9. My notes on the holotype of 

 ruficornis indicate that it is not conspecific with the holotype of 0. dentata (see 

 discussion of dentata); ruficornis had been suppressed as synonym of dentata by 

 Provancher (1879); the holotype of ruficornis was found by Barron (1975).

Genus LEMOPHAGUS Townes 



Lemophagus Townes, 1965. Polskie Pismo Ent. 35: 415. 



Type-species: Lemophagus curtus Townes. Monotypic and orig. desig. 



Species so far referred to this small genus are native to Japan, Europe, and northern Africa 

 and are parasites of Chrysomelidae. The egg is laid in the larva of the host which is killed after 

 it has constructed its pupal cell. 



curtus Townes. N. Y., w. Pa., w. W. Va., Ohio, s. Mich., n. Ind.; Europe. Introduced. Host: 



Oulema melanopus (L.). The host cited was the target species for releases of L. curtus 

 in North America. Data on recoveries and establishment of L. curtus was furnished by 

 Mr. T. L. Burger. Establishment in W. Va. may still be uncertain, but in other states the 

 species has been recovered in Counties other than those in which it was released; 

 recoveries have been made at distances as great as 68 miles from any known release 

 point.
