Extract

During the course of investigations dealing with the biological control of insect pests of conifers, several species of sawflies were found to be heavily attacked by the tachinid parasite Phorocera hamata A. & W. The present paper describes the immature stages and indudes the life-history of the parasite under laboratory conditions.
