Notes – Wolf & Wolf (1947) considered that M. curtisii, M. duriaei, M. montagnei and M. thwaitesii are parasitic on scale insects. During the study of morphology and cytology of M. duriaei and M. curtsii, Miller (1938) found that both of these species occur as parasites on scale insects attacking Nyssa sylvatica and Carya illinoensis (Adopted from Hongsanan et al. 2020).
