摘要
Larval specimens of Xylophagus cinctus were field-collected, presented with prey, and their survival/pupation/emergence tabulated. Larvae attacked and consumed prey by ripping them with sickle-like mandibles and ingesting the body contents, confirming their insectivorous nature. Fed larvae molted, pupated and emerged as healthy adult flies (five males, (x) over bar = 9.4 days pupation, (range 4-14 days) and seven females, (x) over bar = 7.8 days pupation (range 2-14 days).
