Abstract
The ovarian cycle was studied in two species of Trichogramma, the thel ytokous T. cacoeciae and the arrhenotokous T. brassicae. For both spec ies, egg development was recorded (1) in the immature stages and (2) i n adult females before and after one bout of oviposition. The two spec ies differed in the numbers of immature eggs formed and stored in the ovaries, and in the pattern of egg replenishment after oviposition.
