Extract

Anastatus sp. (Eupelmidae) is recorded for the first time parasitising a puparium of Glossina palpalis (R.-D.) in West Africa. Hitherto, the only records of Eupelmids parasitising tsetse flies have been of A. viridiceps Wtstn. and Eupelmella tarsata (Wtstn.) from G. morsitans Westw. in eastern and southern Africa. The parasite emerged through a large hole anterior to the polypneustic lobes. Parasitic Eupelmids do not normally utilise tsetse flies as hosts.
