Hymenopterous Parasites of Sweetpotato Leaf Folder, Brachmia triannulella Herrich-Schaffer, in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan

Abstract

So far as I know, a hymenopterous parasite attacking a sweetpotato leaf folder, Brachmia triannulella Herrich-Schaffer, has not been recorded from Japan. In 1982, I found two parasitic wasps which emerged from larvae of sweetpotato leaf folder collected in sweetpotato fields in Ishikawa Prefecture. In this paper, I report on two hymenopterous parasites.
