BIOL: Abercrombie 1970

Note: The behavioral group (BG) and the phenological group (PG) are unknown. Abercrombie (1970) reported that while adults mated readily under laboratory conditions, with females laying viable eggs that hatched quickly, first-instar larvae failed to develop.

HOSTS/PREY OF LARVAE: First-instar larvae killed and fed on Chilina fluctuosa, Helisoma trivolvis, Lymnaea viator, Physella gyrina, and Planorbella duryi (eggs only) but did not thrive on any of them.
