An updated and annotated checklist of the thick-headed flies (Diptera: Conopidae) of British Columbia, the Yukon, and Alaska
The thick-headed flies (Diptera: Conopidae) are rarely observed parasitoids. Confirmed hosts include many species of bees and wasps. Often collected from flowers, conopids may serve as either pollinators or pollinator predators. The last detailed checklist of the Conopidae of British Columbia was pu...
