Notes: [Proceedings of a symposium held at the Fifteenth International Congress of Entomology, Washington, D.C., August 19-27, 1976, and other selected papers.] The production of natural enemies in the US for practical use is confined to a limited number of private firms, cooperatives, and government agencies. Aphytis melinus is one of the natural enemies reared in substantial numbers as a parasite of Aonidiella aurantii, and Cryptolaemus montrouzieri is reared as a predator of mealybugs.
