Litchi stink bug, LSB (Tessaratoma javanica) is a major insect pest of litchi in India
and insecticidal control of this pest is non effective. Therefore, in present study, exploration of
natural enemies of litchi stink bug and their effect on pest population was investigated for two
years during 2012 and 2013. The LSB females were found to start laying eggs from February
and peak activity was recorded in the month of March to April during both years. Three egg
parasitoids of litchi stink bug were recorded, two were from the family Eupelmidae and one was
from the family Encyrtidae of order Hymenoptera. Among parasitoids recorded, only two were
identified up to species level namely Anastatus bangalorensis and Anastatus acherontiae. We
are reporting these two parasitoids as new record from litchi stink bug (T. javanica). Maximum
parasitized eggs were found in the month of March with 42.54% and 46.12%, respectively in
insecticides free litchi orchard during 2012 and 2013 with major parasitization by A. bangalorensis.
The egg parasitoids of litchi stink bug would be beneficial in the integrated management
of the pest if mass reared and released in the litchi orchards.
