245. Derived from: Legner, E. F. 1989. Fly parasitic
wasp, Muscidifurax raptorellus Kogan & Legner
(Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) invigorated through insemination by males of
different races. Bull. Soc. Vector
Ecol. 14(2): 291-300. NOTE: All Muscidifurax females regularly
superparasitize their hosts (i.e., deposit more than one egg on a host
pupa). However, in gregarious sibling species development
results in the survival of more than one individual to the adult stage. In solitary species only a single
individual survives to the adult stage.
Although the number of eggs laid on a host ma also influence survival
number, the present account measures only adult emergence Summary Page 291 Page 292 Page 293 Page 294 Page 295 Page 296 Page 297 Page 298 Page 299 Page 300 Table 1 Table 2 Table 3 Table 4 Table 5 Table 6 Table 7 |
