MUSCIDIFURAX
Species
Complex
{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.} Please CLICK on publication number to
