Parasitoid Drift in Hawaiian Pentatomoids

  • Chapter
Nontarget Effects of Biological Control

Abstract

Following the accidental introduction of the pest Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), the southern green stink bug, into Hawaii in 1961, several parasitoids were imported and released in an effort at biological control (Davis 1964). Two parasitoids established: Trissolcus basalis Woolaston (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), an egg parasitoid, and Trichopoda pilipes (F.) (Hymenoptera: Tachinidae), a parasitoid of adults and late-stage nymphs. By 1963, propagation facilities for these two parasitoids had been established on Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai and releases were being made on all the major Hawaiian Islands (Davis 1964).
