Another type of ectophagy involves larvae ofsmall cecidomyid gnats of the genera Feltiella, orLestodiplosis (Ross 1944:491). These are similar tosclerogibbid larvae both in appearance and methodof feeding. They were encountered on one occasiononly, in northern Florida, on Diradius vandykei(Ross). ENDOPARASITOIDS: Embiids, at least inNeotropical regions, apparently are hosts to braconidwasps of the genus Sericobracon (Doryctinae). Stud-ies of such wasps were conducted by Scott R. Shawand Janice S. Edgerly (1985). Embiidina are hosts to larvae of unusual tachinidflies as evidenced by collections I have made in widelyseparated geographic regions. Only two of the sev-eral new species have been described. Rossimyiopsiswhiteheadi Mesnil, 1953, was reared
