Abstract

A scarabaeid grub, Phyllophaga (Listrochelus) koehleriana (Saylor),2 has been a pest of native range grasses3 in the northwestern Texas Panhandle and northeastern New Mexico for many years (Saylor 1940). During chemical-control studies on the grub in Hartley County, Texas, in July 1964, slim, white, small-headed larvae, from 1 to 1½ in. long, were found in the soil among the grubs. These larvae, of the dipterous family Asilidae,4 were suspected by the author of feeding on the grubs.
