245.  Derived from:  Legner, E. F.  1989.  Fly parasitic wasp, Muscidifurax raptorellus Kogan & Legner (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) invigorated through insemination by males of different races.  Bull. Soc. Vector Ecol. 14(2):  291-300.

 

             NOTE:  All Muscidifurax females regularly superparasitize their hosts (i.e., deposit more than one egg on a host pupa). 

       However, in gregarious sibling species development results in the survival of more than one individual to the adult stage.  

       In solitary species only a single individual survives to the adult stage.  Although the number of eggs laid on a host ma also influence survival number, the present account measures only adult emergence
