Extract

The developmental biology of Telenomus remus Nixon is described from rearings within the eggs of Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.). It has two larval instars and its developmental duration at 25°C is about ten days. Superparasitism can be easily induced in the laboratory, but only one adult emerges from each host egg.
