- Summary
- The Tachinidae are the most important of the dipterous families with entomophagous habits. Though often little noticed, these flies have an important role in controlling phytophagous Insecta.
- The purpose of this catalog is to bring together the published host associations of the North American Tachinidae. Unpublished rearings are not included. This catalog lists 519 tachinid species in 261 genera from 1,049 different host species. Except for secondary references that furnish new information, or that might be more readily available than the original, only primary references have been included.
