Title: Hymenopterous parasitoids of the peach leafminer, Lyonetia clerkella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera : Lyonetiidae)
Abstract: A total of 19 parasitoid species belonging to the families Eulophidae (17 species), Pteromalidae (1), and Braconidae (1) were reared from larvae of the peach leafminer Lyonetia clerkella (Linnaeus) in Tsukuba in 1993-1995. Chrysocharis nitetis (Walker) was the most frequent parasitoid. Species composition of parasitoids associated with L. clerkella in Kagoshima Prefecture was also investigated in 1995. All 13 species reared were common to those in Tsukuba, but the relative abundance of each species was markedly different.
