The Trypetid, Rioxa tertnitoxena, Bezzi, and the Syrphids, Psilofa sp. 

 and P. cvanea, sp. n., have been found in Northern AustraUa in the 

 trunks of living trees in association with Mastotermes darwiniensis, 

 Frogg., and Calotermes irregularis, Frogg. 



Attempts to rear the larvae of R. termitoxena on various fruits, 

 or to induce adults to breed in captivity, have failed. Pupation 

 occurs a few inches below the ground surface and lasts from 8 to 11 

 days. None of the indigenous or introduced fruits are known to be 

 attacked by this ^y.
