Fire ant decapitating flies were studied in and around the Embrapa-National Research Center for Environmental Monitoring and Impact Assessment, in Jaguariuna, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The objective was to evaluate and select several species for exporting to the United States as biocontrol agents. Eight species were collected during this study (January-June, 1996): Pseudacteon convexicauda, P. curvatus, P. litoralis, P. obtusus, P. pradei, P. solenopsidis, P. tricuspis and P. wasmanni. Seven species (all except P. convexicauda) were reared from eggs to adults. All seven species had the unusual habit of pupating inside the head capsule of their host. No suitable morphological characters were found to discriminate pupae of the different spe...
