摘要：

Anastatus kashmirensis Mathur (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae), an egg parasite imported from India for release against the gypsy moth in North America, attacks other gypsy moth parasites. It develops on one of them (Apanteles melanoscelus (Ratzeburg) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)) more readily than does the related, established species A. disparts Ruschka. Based on this fact, and because A. kashmirensis appears to be no more able to parasitize deeper eggs in gypsy moth egg masses than the established egg parasites, we suggest that it should not be released in North America. This report emphasizes the importance of prerelease assessment of exotic parasites and cautions against hasty evaluations based on comparisons with related species. © 1979 Entomological Society of America.
