Abstract

AbstractOverwintering by Heteropelma scaposum (Morley) (Ichneumonidae), Carcelia sp. (Tachinidae) and Microplitis sp. (Braconidae), all parasites of Heliothis armiger (Hübner), was observed in 1977 and 1978. Heteropelma scaposum and Carcelia sp. parasitising H. armiger in April and May overwintered in the host pupae and emerged from August to October. Microplitis sp. overwintered in cocoons and emerged mainly in August‐September. This behaviour coincides with overwintering by H. armiger.
