Abstract
Apoid hosts of meloid immatures and plant hosts of adult Nemognathinae, including unpublished records, are summarized for Nearctic and some other species. Some new host-plant records for the Meloinae are included but meloine host-plant records were not summarized since detection of larval-host associations via host-plant records appears unlikely for most of these nonphoretic species. Some potential bee hosts are also listed for the Nemognathinae. Of the 6 apoid host families listed, the Anthophoridae and Megachilidae are most frequently cited. Nemognathine host-plant records are disproportionately distributed among 25 plant families. The Compositae are cited for most beetle species.
