Like Davis, I was able to rear it on regular medium.We took the specimens directly from the Ipomea flower hosts in New Guinea. This species, a member of the melanogaster group, would be a good flower species to work on in the lab (see notes on it in Okada and Carson: Kontyu, Tokyo 50: 524-525 1982) Hamp Carson Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology School of Medicine 1960 East-Wwest Road University of Hawaii Honolulu, HI 96822 On Thu, 31 Aug 1995, A.J.
