Rl. Zuparko, NOTES ON PARABLASTOTHRIX NEARCTICA (HYMENOPTERA, ENCYRTIDAE), Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, 97(4), 1995, pp. 884-886
New host records and a range extension are reported for Parablastothri
x nearctica, as well as inaccuracies in the original description. Only
one adult emerges from each host, suggesting the species is monoembry
onic. Parablastothrix has been placed in the Copidosomatini, but its m
ode of reproduction contrasts with the other genera of the tribe, all
of which appear to consist of polyembryonic species.
