Field and laboratory etudies of the onion maggot Hylemva antigua. (Meigen), its li fe history, depredations, host range and preference, predators, and importance relative to associated dipterous species, were conducted in a commercial onion growing district, on muck soil, at Ste-Clothilde, Q,uébec, during 1952. The insect went through three generations in the year. It overwintered as a pupa. Egg laying commenced late in May. Comparison with other etudies showed the life history to be unaffected by the muck soil habitat.
