255. Revised 2003 from:  Legner, E. F.  1991b.  Recombinant males in the parasitic wasp Muscidifurax  raptorellus  [Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae].  Entomophaga  36(2):  173-81

 

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 may also influence survival number, the present account measures only adult emergence.
