On some Eulophid Parasites (Hym., Chalcidoidea) of the Oil Palm HĨspid Beetle

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  10 July 2009

Extract

Oil palms in West Africa are periodically subject to somewhat serious attacks by Coelaenomenodera elaeidis, Maulik, a beetle of the family HIspidae, which mines the leaves. From the early stages of this beetle Mr. G. S. Cotterell, Assistant Entomologist, Gold Coast, has bred several Chalcidoid parasites, which were forwarded to the Imperial Bureau of Entomology and form the subject of the present paper.

* Ashmead says “10-jointed with one ring joint.” The specimen of the genotype which I have examined unfortunately lacks antennae, but apparently Áshmead reckoned as a joint the sub-articulate cap of the club. If so, the formula should be 11 joints. The 2nd ring joint of the ♂ antenna is concealed in the base of the 1st funicular.
