Torywa.-' thompsoni Fyles, Can. Ent., vol. 36, 1904, p. 106. 



Type locality. — Quebec, Canada. 



Host. — Plum. 



Types were sent to the United States National Museum according 

 to the above reference. It seems, however, that they either have 

 been misplaced or lost, for they can not be found. 



Mr. Fyles reports having observed this species ovipositing in plums. 

 "As many as 30 of the insects" were found on one plum. "Some of 

 plums attacked showed signs of previous attack of the Curculio, but 

 most of them did not. Whether the larvae of the species feed on 

 the flesh and juices of the plum or attack the grubs of the Curculio" 

 was not determined.
