Aside from true parasites, a coleopterous larva found preying on a 

 larva of Pyrausta ainsliei was reared and determined by Schwarz as 

 Callida decora Fab. Larvae of Chauliognathus pennsylvanicus DeGeer 

 are often found in the burrows and doubtless make way with some of the 

 borers. In two instances they have been found feeding upon the con- 

 tents of the puparia in the stems. Forficulids have been found in the 

 burrows, but they probably act merely as scavengers.
