Silvestri's observations on the parasites of African fruit flies * and 

 my own experience indicate that the egg of the parasite is apparently 

 in all cases deposited in or upon the host larva in one of its immature 

 stages. In all instances observed, the host larva completed its devel- 

 opment and assumed the pupal stage before being killed by the para- 

 site. The parasitic larva then underwent its transformation in the 

 puparium and emerged at about the time when the adult fly would 

 have emerged.
