Below the holotype is a large label with additional infor- mation: “Following and ovipositing on bees which were collecting sap flowing from Scolyid entrance holes in felled trees. Each was following a bee flying immediate- ly behind it. When a Physocephala managed to approach closely a bee the fly deposited an egg on its body with an extreme rapidity and I could establish later that the egg remained attached to the tegument of the bee.
