Taxonomic note
A research paper titled 'Seasonal of two co-occurring of Acalymma vittatum in New York State' incorrectly refers to 'Celatoria diabroticae' as a braconid (Centistes (Syrrhizus) diabroticae). This is a clear taxonomic error in the source; the described in that paper is a wasp in Braconidae, not the tachinid fly Celatoria diabroticae. The true identity of the wasp discussed in that paper requires verification.
