Abstract
Randel (2013) provided a list of 11 host plants previously published for Lytta magister Horn, 1870 (Meloidae: Meloinae) and nine new observations from the community of Rosamond, in south-central Kern County, California, USA. Hendricks (1984) reported Encelia frutescens A. Gray (Asteraceae) as a host plant species not included in Randel (2013) but is not unexpected as plants in the genus Encelia are major food sources for L. magister (Snead and Alcock 1985). In addition to those records published in Randel (2013), I report here a new host plant for L. magister. Lytta magister has a distributional range extending from southern California to Arizona into northwestern Sonora and the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico, and continues north to Utah (Pinto and Clark 2022; Randel 2013). I observed L. magister feeding behavior near Searles Valley, in northwestern San Bernardino County, California on 25 April 2019 (Fig. 1). Lytta magister adults were opportunistically observed during biological surveys feeding on shrubs and forbs, with one new host plant recorded. Adults were observed feeding on the following:
