UNSUCCESSFUL SEARCH FOR PARASITES OF THE CRAPEMYRTLE APHID, TINOCALLIS KAHAWALUOKALANI (HOMOPTERA: APHIDIDAE)

Extensive searchers for parasitic Hymenoptera of the crape myrtle aphid, Tinocallis kahawaluokalani (Kirkaldy), on several continents have failed. A parasite-free condition is an unusual occurrence among the foliar-feeding Aphididae. Such an extensive search has been conducted for only a small perce...

Zusammenfassung:Extensive searchers for parasitic Hymenoptera of the crape myrtle aphid, Tinocallis kahawaluokalani (Kirkaldy), on several continents have failed. A parasite-free condition is an unusual occurrence among the foliar-feeding Aphididae. Such an extensive search has been conducted for only a small percentage of aphid species of economic importance, thus, the frequency of occurrence and the underlying determinants of the phenomenon remain to be determined.
