EuTRIXA EXILE Coq. 
This species (Fig. 41) was first reported as a May-beetle parasite 
in 1897 by D. W. Coquillett under the name Eutrixa masuria Walk. 
(13). The flies issued March 12, 16, and 23, 1895, from a P. arcuata 
adult obtained at Washington, D. C. It is almost as wide-spread as 
Cryptomeigenia theutis, the published records giving its distribution as 
Ontario, Canada; New Hampshire, New York, Maryland, District of 
Columbia, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Our rec- 
ords show it to occur also in Mississippi, Missouri, and South Carolina. 
Although the species occurs more commonly in the Northern States, it 
seems to be less typically northern than C. theutis. 
We have reared the species from fifteen species of Phyllophaga, 
namely, P. anxia (=—dubia), draku (=grandis), fervida (=arcuata), 
fraterna, fusca, futilis (=gibbosa), hirticula, ilicis, implicita, profunda

representing 200 records and collected in twenty-four localities as fol- 
lows: Strathroy and Wilton Grove, Ontario, Canada (beetles collected 
by H. G. Crawford) ; Starkville, Miss. (G. F. Arnold) ; Mt. Grove, Mo. 
(M. P. Somes) ; East Greenbush, N. Y. (E. P. Felt) ; Winfield Junction,

Orleans, Princeton, and Vincennes, Ind.; Adrian, Battle Creek, East 
Leroy, Farmington, Imlay City, and Port Huron, Mich.; Swanton, Ohio; 
and Platteville and Trout Lake, Wis. (members of the Lafayette 
Station staff). In addition, Mr. Philip Luginbill, of the Bureau 
of Entomology, reared it in 1913 from an adult P. tristis taken
