The few species of Psilns that have been reared from known hosts are parasites of Diptera, 

 especially of Lonchaeidae and Tephritidae. An African species, P. siluestrii (Kieffer), which is a 

 parasite of various tephritids of the genera Ce)xititus and Dacus, was introduced into Hawaii as 

 a possible aid in the control of the Mediterranean fruit fly.
