"This fly has twice been reared from material collected from the interior of rotten logs in the winter season at Harrisburg, Pa. The insect was in the pupal stage and upon both occasions was in close proximity to cells of hymenopterons. ... The puparium is chestnut brown, 8 to 9 mm. in length and from 2 1-2 to 3 mm broad. Dorsally extremely polished, ventral side minutely wrinkled between the segments." -- Walton 1911
