The seasonal records of adults (both collecting and rearing) in- dicate that the species is on the wing every month of the year, with peaks of abundance in the spring and fall. Rearing records comprise 11 lots of specimens from Phryganidia californica but none from other hosts. This species is restricted to western California, from Marin Co. southwards. It is an important parasite of Phryganidia californica. Adults can be collected throughout the year. \j r «i \ * Ml / ~~J^~t~~~K~ iVc>M h /.
