Egg parasitoids of the bean bug, Riptortus linearis were investigated in a soybean field on Okinawa Island in October 1996. Only one species of egg parasitoid emerged from R. linearis eggs collected in the soybean field and it was identified as the wasp Gryon nigricorne. The wasps also emerged from host eggs placed artificially in the soybean field. In both cases, no other egg parasitoid species was recorded.
