Superfamily SCOLIOIDEA
Family TIPHIIDAE

So far as is known all of the North American taxa are parasites of larvae of fossorial species.
In the primitive subfamily Tiphiinae, species of Tiphia F. have been reported as parasites of
scarabaeid larvae. A few exotic species have been liberated in North America for control of
economically important pest scarab species. Hosts of the other genera of Tiphiinae are unknown.
In the Myzininae, species of Myzinum Latr. have scarabaeid larvae as hosts; it is anticipated
that our native Pterombnis Sm. parasitize tiger beetle larvae as do some of the Neotropical spe-
cies. Biology is unknown for the Anthoboscinae and Brachycistidinae, but the species probably
have as hosts deserticolous scarabaeid larvae. The Methochinae parasitize tiger beetle larvae,
and the Myrmosinae are parasites of ground-nesting aculeate Hymenoptera.

(Coleoptera). Detailed liberation records of the Oriental species released in the United States
for control of the introduced Popillia, Anomala, Autoserica, and Serica were published by

Tiphia femorata Fabricius and T. moyio Fabricius were introduced from Europe and liberated
in New York in 1956 and 1957 for control oi Amphimallon majalis (Raz.), the European chafer;
so far as is known neither species became established.

Only the typical subgenus occurs in the New World.

In describing Myzinum as new, Latreille gave a vernacular as well as a scientific name, thus,
myzine, Myzinum. Later, he and most subsequent authors incorrectly used this vernacular
name rather than the properly formed scientific name.

Two North American species have been recorded as parasitizing scarabaeid larvae in the soil,
a host relationship which has been recorded also for several Neotropical species.
