...Ficiomyia birdi Felt into synonymy because qualitative, quantitative and principal component analyses revealed no differences between Felt's type series of F. perarticulata and F. birdi. Felt's host plant record for F. perarticulata is probably wrong. After extensive sampling we conclude that the host-plant association of Ficiomyia, at least in Florida, is restricted to Ficus citrifolia.
