  • Title: Pupal parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) of muscoid filth flies in Israel.
    Author: Havron A, Margalit J.
    Journal: Med Vet Entomol; 1991 Jul; 5(3):267-75. PubMed ID: 1768919.
    Abstract:
    Pupal parasitoids of muscoid flies were collected monthly on three farms in southern Israel in preparation for an IPM programme for the control of filth-breeding flies. 50% and 25.5% of viable puparia collected during 1985 and 1986/87, respectively, were parasitized. Three species of Spalangia Latreille and two species of Muscidifurax Girault & Saunders (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) accounted for 82.0% and 94.2% of parasitoids recovered in the two seasons. Variation in the seasonal abundance and distribution of the leading parasite species are discussed in connection with their conservation and possible use for augmentative releases within IPM projects.
