Influence of Liriomyza species (Diptera : Agromyzidae) and their host plants, on oviposition by Opius dissitus females (Hymenoptera : Braconidae)

Two factors, among others, influence the oposition of #Opius dissitus# Muesebeck. The first was the host species, the secont the plant upon which the pest host larvae develop. #O. dissitus# females prefer #Liriomyza trifolii# (Burgess) larvae over those of #L. huidobrensis# (Blanchard). #O. dissitus# females were more attracted to the larvae of #L. trifolii# or #L. huidobrensis# when these were present on courgette rather than tomato or lettuce.
