Zeteticontus is cosmopolitan and contains about ten species. Members of the genus are nitidu- 

 lid beetle parasites. 



insularis (Howard). Fla. Host: Aiiastrepha ludeus (Loew). Kerrich examined the holotype of 

 H. insularis and considered it to be an Aratus (=Zeteticontus). This is interesting 

 because insularis is a fly parasite whereas all other species oi Zeteticontus parasitize 

 nitidulids.
