Abstract

Abstract The life history of Neoplasta parahebes MacDonald and Turner in a mountain stream in Southern California is reported. Female N. parahebes were separated from sympatric female Neoplasta hebes Melander by ovipositor morphology. Adults readily fed on adult midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) smaller than themselves. Ovarioles of gravid females contained an average of 74.8 eggs. Mating occurred in a unidirectional position. Females oviposited under the bark of submerged decaying wood. Eggs averaged 459 µm × 115 µm in size; most were laid within a 24 h period and, at room temperature, hatched in 10–11 days. There are three larval instars. Densities of larval N. parahebes were as high as 9.2 per 100 cm of wood surface in submerged dead tree branches. Branches also contained larvae of Orthocladius lignicola Kieffer, a wood-boring chironomid; larval N. parahebes readily fed on the midge larvae in their tunnels. Pupation occurred in the decaying wood.

摘要报道了南加利福尼亚山间溪流中Neoplasta parahebes MacDonald和Turner的生活史。根据产卵器形态，从同域雌瘤蝇中分离出雌旁瘤蝇。成虫很容易以比自己小的成蚊(双翅目:手蛾科)为食。妊娠雌鼠卵巢平均含卵74.8个。交配发生在单向位置。雌虫在淹没的腐木树皮下产卵。鸡蛋平均大小为459µm × 115µm;大多数在24小时内下蛋，在室温下，10-11天孵化。有三个幼虫。在枯枝上，每100 cm木面有9.2只幼虫。树枝上还含有木蠹蛾木蠹蛾(Orthocladius lignicola Kieffer)的幼虫;拟蠓幼虫在隧道中以蠓幼虫为食。化蛹发生在腐朽的木头中。
