In northern Florida, Brachyserphus barberi was observed as a solitary internal parasitoid of larvae of Ihe fungus beetle Mycetophagus melsheimeri. Mature larvae of the parasitoid emerge through the intersegmental membrane of the abdomen of the host larva and pupate within about 3 days; adult emergence occurs approximately 6-7 days after pupation. A review of the distribution and biology of the parasitoid and host is provided, and beetle host records of world species of 8rachyserphus are summarized.

Exallonyx obsoletus is a solitary internal parasite of larvae of Quedius laevigatus; this represents a new host record for E. obsoletus. A brief synopsis of the distribution and biology of the parasite (E. obsoletus) and the host (Q. laevigatus) is provided, and staphylinid host records of world species of Exallonyx are reviewed.

Codrus carolinensis (Ashmead) is a gregarious internal parasite of larvae of Platydracus violaceus (Gravenhorst). Mature parasite larvae rupture and emerge through the integument of the mature host larva after consuming its internal contents. Development of mature, last instar larvae to pupae takes from 3-4 days, while that of pupae to adults from 6-8 days.
