Extract

There are three moth-borers of sugar-cane in Mauritius, Proceras sacchariphagus Boj. (Crambid.), Sesamia vuteria (Stoll) (Agrotid.) and Olethreutes schistaceana (Snell.) (Olethreutid.).

The eggs of all three are parasitised by Trichogramma sp. ? australicum Gir., while a second undetermined species of Trichogramma parasitises the eggs of Sesamia and Olethreutes. Sesamia eggs are also parasitised by a Scelionid, Platytelenomus sp. ? hylas Nixon.
