Sushil, S.N., Bhattacharya, A., Mishra, Y.D., & Kumar, P. 2000 Parasitising efficiency of some egg parasitoids against Eublemma amabilis Moore (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): a serious lac insect predator.. Journal of Applied Zoological Research 11(2-3): 152-154.

Notes: Five hymenopterous egg parasitoids viz., Trichogramma brasiliense, Trichogramma chilonis, Trichogramma pretiosum, Trichogrammatoidea bactrae and Telenomus remus were screened against Eublemma amabilis, a serious predator of lac insects (Kerria lacca), to assess their parasitizing efficiency under laboratory conditions. Trichogramma brasiliense showed significantly high parasitization (43.74%) followed by Trichogramma chilonis (21.49%), Trichogramma pretiosum (20.88%), Trichogrammatoidea bactrae (20.85%) and Telenomus remus (7.73%).
