Abstract
Pedilus lugubris was found associated with Epicauta murina feeding on Lathy rus venosus foliage and with E. fabricii feeding on Lupinus perennis flower s. Epicauta cinerea and E. funebris were found feeding on foliage of Anemon e canadensis and Physalis heterophylla, respectively. This is the first rep orted association of P. lugubris with any species of Epicauta, and the firs t reported use of Lathyrus venosus by E. murina, of Lupinus perennis by E. fabricii, of Anemone canadensis by E. cinerea and of Physalis heterophylla by E. funebris.
