Abstract

Eudorylas alternatus (Cresson) is recorded as a parasitoid of Cuerna striata (Walker) (Homoptera: Cicadellidae, Cicadellinae), providing the first known example of a big-headed fly parasitizing a cicadelline. Rearing methods and parasitism rates are discussed, and a summary of known Nearctic pipunculid–host associations is presented along with an overview of big-headed fly natural history.

Résumé

Eudorylas alternatus (Cresson) est attesté comme un parasitoid de Cuerna striata (Walker) (Homoptera : Cicadellidae, Cicadellinae), pourvu la premier exemple de parasitisme d’un pipunculid sur un cicadelline. Méthodes d’élever et la taux de parasitisme sont discuté, et un résumé du Nearctic pipunculid–hôte associations reconnus est offrait avec un résumé du pipunculid histoire naturelle.
