FLIES OF THE TRIBE LESKIINI—JAMES 103 
Columbia, Virginia, North Carolina, Mississippi, and Illinois. Addi- 
tional records that will extend its range beyond those previously pub- 
lished are Ohio; Berthierville, Quebec, July 2 to 9, 1940 (L. Daviault) ; 
Petite Riviére, Nova Scotia, August 9, 1936 (J. McDunnough) ; Char- 
lotte, Maine, July 12, 1933; Opelousas, La., April 1897; Kerrville, 
Tex., April 12, 1907; College Station, Tex., April to November (H. J. 
Reinhard). 
Records from Jamaica may apply to this or to another species. 
Curran ® recorded it from British Guiana as Myobia (Leskiomima) 
tenera Wiedemann, but his statement, “The first vein is bare, the third 
with two or three bristles basally,” shows clearly that the record is 
based on a misidentification. Some of the records for states listed 
above may be based on misidentifications, although all are within the 
range of the species as indicated by specimens I have examined. 
Adults have been collected on the flowers of Ceanothus by Banks. 
Larvae have been reared from the following hosts, all Lepidoptera: 
Desmia funeralis (Hiibner) at Washington, D. C. (J. F. Strauss) ; 
Carpocapsa pomonella (Linnaeus) at Carbondale, Ill.; and Acrobasis 
juglandis (LeBaron) (A. nebulella auctt., not Riley) at Monticello, 
Fla. (J. B. McGill), and Wiggins, Miss. (Allen, 1929), the latter 
record, according to Allen, being under circumstances which would 
cast some doubt upon the host relationship. Haeussler (1930) re- 
corded it as a parasite of Grapholitha molesta (Busck) , but a specimen 
in the United States National Museum, upon which this record may 
have been based, is Leskiella brevirostris James. 
Both Aldrich and Townsend mistook the males of Leskiella for those 
of Leskiomima tenera. Aldrich? says of Leskiomima that “the male has 
long claws and pulvilli, and has no orbitals,” and Townsend * makes 
use of the same characters in his generic description. This failure to 
associate the sexes properly may have been responsible for Townsend’s 
error in describing the male of Leskiomima australis asa female. The 
male genitalia are small, but are apparent as such even when unspread,
