LEAD:
Good lead sentence!

I would put (Say, 1829) in the binomial name spot in the taxobox to indicate a changed genus name from initial description.

It would probably be good to put a ciation for the sentence "its larval stage parasitizes beetles" even though this is explained in detail later.

BIOLOGY:
Good! Maybe in the sentence that starts with Mangrum, you could preface it with "In 1948, Mangrum conducted..." which just helps put everything into perspective.

For the next 3 sentences, you could probably put these all into one paragraph rather than 3 separate thoughts. The last sentence may be a bit subjective for wikipedia unless this has been separately noted on another site, it may fall into individual research at this point.

Range:
Nice!

Taxonomy:
While I understand the value in describing the history of the genus, I'm not sure if it belongs in the species page for a member of Zelia rather than the page on the genus itself. (also Coquillett has 2 t's)

The other two paragraphs are good! I am not sure if the wording of "for the synonym Dexia vertebrata" is clear.
