Abstract
Coccophagus lycimnia (Walker), a primary parasitoid of Coccus hesperidum L., most frequently parasitized hosts in the 1100 to 1500 μm size range. Scale insect hosts continued to develop after being parasitized but eventually died before maturity. Some 71% of the parasites successfully emerged from hosts 1400 to 1700 μm long. The most common oviposition site was the filter chamber. Females most frequently deposited a single egg within the filter chamber of the host, although two or three eggs were occasionally found. However, only one parasitoid developed to maturity per host.
