Inopus rubriceps, known generally as the sugarcane soldier fly or Australian soldier fly, is a species of soldier fly in the family Stratiomyidae.[7] The fly acts as a host for the parasitoid wasps Neurogalesus carinatus and Neurogalesus militis.[8] The species causes damage to pasture, as well as oat and maize crops, however the degree of damage it causes means it is not considered a major pest.[8]
Though native to South East Queensland and northern New South Wales areas in Australia, its introduced range includes California and New Zealand.[9] Populations tend to prefer warm, moist climates in subtropical/tropical regions, and no related species occur in its native range, suggesting a long evolutionary history for the fly in the region.[9] The species was first recorded in New Zealand in 1944, appearing at Opotiki in the Bay of Plenty in the North Island.[8]
