Abstract
Exotic parasites of Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko) (Homoptera: Aphididae) were released in Canyon Co. Idaho in 1988. A survey in 1994 indicated that Aphidius uzbekistanicus Luzhetzki had become established; howeve r, the parasites were found attacking two other cereal aphids, Sitobio n avenae (Fabricius) and Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), but not D. nox ia. The establishment was achieved by releasing wasps into small, shad ed cages for 2-5 days.
