Family RHOPALOSOMATIDAE 



During their larval stages the two North American rhopalosomatids are external parasites of 

 nymphal crickets. Gumey (1953) undoubtedly had material of both species before him in his 

 study of the biology and larval stages of what he supposed to be Rhopalosoma only. He 

 recorded as hosts Hapithis a. agitator Uhler, H. agitator quadrattis Scudd., H. brevipennis 

 Sauss., H. sp., and Orocharis sp.
