Parasitism of gum leaf skeletoniser (Uraba lugens) in New Zealand

Identifies and records what parasitoids (if any) are attacking gum leaf skeletoniser (Uraba lugens) populations in southwest Auckland and qualitatively gauges their likely impact upon these populations. Compares parasitism of Meteorus pulchricornis and Xanthopimpla rhopaloceros against U. lugens and other hosts (Helicoverpa armigera and Epiphyas postvittana, respectively) using no-choice and choice tests under controlled conditions.
