Title: Survey of Parasitoids of the European Corn Borer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in Southwestern Kentucky
Abstract: The European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is a major maize pest throughout the maize-growing regions of the U.S. A survey was conducted to determine the parasitoids of European corn borer in southwestern Kentucky, the major maize producing region in the state. Two species, Lixophaga variabilis (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tachinidae) and Eriobus terebrans Gravenhorst (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), were found. The most abundant species was the native L. variabilis. Only one E. terebrans was collected.
