Mycodiplosis packardi Felt 



1918 Felt, E. P. Econom. Ent. Jour., 11:382 



The presumably predaceous larvae of this midge appear to be 

 associated with those of the pitch inhabiting Retinodiplosis 

 a 1 b i t a r s i s Felt, though the condition of the material was such 

 that the precise relation between the two could not be established.
