| Description |
A species of Eucelatoria has been imported into India from the USA for rearing and release for the control of Heliothis armigera (Hb.) on pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan] and other crops. The tachinid has been reared successfully on larvae of H. armigera in the laboratory, and in field-cage tests in which fertilized femlaes were released on plants of pigeonpea and chickpea [Cicer arietinum], up to 15% parasitism was obtained. It was noted that the parasite females preferred larvae of H. armigera on pigeonpea to those on chickpea, even when larvae that had developed on chickpea were placed on pigeonpea for the purpose of the test
