Superfamily PROCTOTRUPOIDEA
Family DIAPRIIDAE

This is a large family in which apparently only a small percentage of the existing species have
been described. Most of those whose host associations are known are parasites of Diptera.

The few species of Psilns that have been reared from known hosts are parasites of Diptera,
especially of Lonchaeidae and Tephritidae. An African species, P. siluestrii (Kieffer), which is a
parasite of various tephritids of the genera Ce)xititus and Dacus, was introduced into Hawaii as
a possible aid in the control of the Mediterranean fruit fly.
