In the come of the study of parasites of mealybugs for introduction into West Africa for the control of mealybug vectors of cocoa virus a number of undescribed Encyrtids have been discovered in Trinidad, B.W.I. Descriptions of these and new Encyrtids reared from other hosts will be published in a series of papers.
The present paper records three species of Pseudaphycus from Trinidad, two of which are described as new. I am indebted to Mr. H. Compere who stated (in litt.) that the species herein described were probably new and pointed out the characters that separated them from related species. Dr. B. D. Burks kindly compared specimens of these species with types of related species deposited in the United States National Museum and suggested slight alterations in the manuscript which have been duly made.

Wilted stems of Eupatorium odoratum L., (Compositae) in Trinidad were found to contain an egg or lama of a Curculionid. Each egg was deposited in a slit between two rows of punctures encircling the stem. This girdling made by the ovipositing female was obviously the cause of the wilting. Larvae hatching from the eggs fed for a few days ih the wilted portion of the stem and then tunnelled into the sound tissue below the punctures completing development a month later, and pupating in the stem near the base of the plant. The adults, which emerged ten days later, were identified as Rhodobaenus sp. nr. cariniventris by Mr. R. E. Warner of the U.S. National Museum.

Pseudaulacaspis pentagona (Targ.) was first observed in Bermuda in 1917. By 1920 infestations severe enough to cause defoliation of oleanders were recorded. Damage by the scale increased despite an intensive spray programme until the establishment of Aphytis diaspidis (How.) from Italy in 1921-24. (Ogilvie, 1928). For several years this Aphelinid kept the scale under satisfactory control, only small sporadic outbreaks occurring from time to time. In recent years however, outbreaks have been severe enough to warrant a detailed investigation(Simmonds, 1955).

During the investigation of mealybug parasites in Trinidad seven species of Aenasius, one of them new, and a new species of Zarhopalus have been reared. The new species are described herein.
Genus Aenasius
Compere, (Proc. Hawaii. ent. Soc., 9, pp. 383-404, 1937) gave a comprehensive review of the genus, described several new species and provided a key for the separation of the known species. Recently three additional species have been described, Aenasius masii, by Domenichini (Boll. 2001. agrar. bachic., 17, 157-180, 1951) from Peru, Aenasius theobromae by Kerrich (Bull. ent. Res., 44, 789-810, 1953) from Trinidad, and Aenasius bolowi by Mercet (Rev. Acad., Madrid, 41, 461-468, 1947) from Costa Rica.

In Trinidad, the only serious pod borer attacking pigeon peas is Ancylostomia stercorea (Zell.). This species breeds throughout the year. The eggs are laid on the young pods and the larvae feed on the developing seeds and later pupate in the soil. The complete life-cycle requires 26–32 days.
Eight species of parasites were reared from the larvae of Ancylostomia. Life-history studies and rearing techniques for the six commonest species are presented.
Apantelcs etiellae isolatus Mues. is a solitary endoparasite attacking first- to third-stage host larvae. It emerges from the fourth-stage host and constructs a white cocoon in the pod. The life-cycle takes 14–18 days.
Phanerotoma bennetti Mues. is a solitary egg-larval parasite. The egg is laid in that of the host, but the parasite does not complete development until the host has reached the final larval stage and constructed a cocoon. A generation is completed in 20 to 28 days. A method of breeding this species on Ephestia cautella (Wlk.) is described.
Eiphosoma annulatum Cress, is a solitary endoparasite attacking first- to fourth-stage hosts. The parasites emerge from fifth-stage hosts which may be stunted in size but construct normal cocoons. The life-cycle is completed in 26–35 days.
Bracon thurberiphagae (Mues.) and Bracon cajani Mues. are gregarious ectoparasites of similar habit. They paralyse second- to fifth-stage larvae and deposit eggs on or near them. The life-cycle is completed in 13 to 16 days. A method of rearing field-collected immature stages is described.
Perisierola sp. is a gregarious ectoparasite. The adult enters the pod, paralyses a host, and attaches her eggs directly on to the caterpillar. Second- to fifth-stage hosts may be attacked but the larger hosts are preferred. The female frequently remains with her progeny until they have completed their development, which requires 11 to 15-days.
Hyperparasites attacking the parasite pupae are listed.
Details of a shipping container and methods of rearing and shipping parasites to Mauritius for trial against Etiella zinckenella (Treitschke) and Maruca testulalis (Geyer) are described. From a stock of more than 44,000 cocoons so sent two species, Bracon cajani and Eiphosoma annulatum, have been successfully established in Mauritius.

Projects undertaken on the biological control of insect pests in Bermuda since the first introduction of Bufo marinus in 1875 and including those still in progress are discussed. Work on 15 pests or groups of pests has been undertaken involving the introduction of over one hundred species of beneficial organisms.
Icerya purchasi Mask. is considered to be under excellent control as a result of the introduction of the Coccinellid, Rodolia cardinalis (Muls.), and the fly, Cryptochetum iceryae (Will.). Pseudaulacaspis pentagona (Targ.), a serious pest of oleanders, was brought under control about 1922 by the introduction of Aphytis diaspidis (How.). However, in recent years heavy infestations have periodically developed. In addition to A. diaspidis, the Aphelinids, Aspidiotiphagus citrinus (Craw) and A. lounsburyi (Berl. & Paoli), the Coccinellids, Lindorus lophanthae (Blaisd.) and Chilocorus cacti (L.), and the Nitidulid, Cybocephalus sp., now attack it.
Comstockiella sabalis (Comst.) at one time causing severe injury to the endemic palm, Sabal bermudiana, was brought under control by the introduction of Physcus sp. Bracon gelechiae Ashm. has been established on the potato tuber moth, Gnorimoschema operculella (Zell.), but satisfactory control has not resulted.
Two cedar scales, Carulaspis minima (Targ.) and Lepidosaphes newsteadi (Sulc), have decimated the stands of Juniperus bermudiana despite an extensive programme of biological control. C. minima, which proved to be the more serious, is attacked by the Aphelinids, Prospaltella sp., Aspidiotiphagus lounsburyi, A. citrinus, probably introduced with the scale, and the Coccinellids, Lindorus lophanthae and Microweisia suturalis (Schwarz), which were liberated in large numbers. The predacious mite, Hemisarcoptes malus (Shimer), and the fungus, Myiophagus ucrainica, were established on Lepidosaphes newsteadi which for unknown causes became very scarce.
Damage by Calpodes ethlius (Cram.), a pest of ornamental cannas, is less serious since the introduction of Ooencyrtus sp. and Trichogramma sp.
Several parasites were liberated to control various species of mealybugs. Pseudococcus adonidum (L.), serious on a number of ornamentals, is under satisfactory control as the result of the establishment of the Encyrtids, Tetracnemus peregrinus Comp. and Anagyrus fusciventris (Gir.). Planococcus citri (Risso) is now attacked by the introduced Encyrtids, Leptomastidea abnormis (Gir.) and Pauridia peregrina Timb., as well as by Leptomastix dactylopii How., which was present at the start of the investigation. Acerophagus pallidus Timb. has been recovered from the mealybug, Phenacoccus gossypii Tns. & Ckll.
The Encyrtid, Microterys kotinskyi (Full.), and the Coccinellids, Azya luteipes Muls. and Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Muls., have been effectively established on the soft scale, Pulvinaria psidii Mask. Tree lizards, Anolis spp., which feed readily on Azya and Cryptolaemus, are considered undesirable and accordingly the passerine bird, Pitangus sulphuratus, has recently been liberated in an attempt to reduce their numbers.
Several species of parasites and predators were liberated against the soft scales, Saissetia oleae (Bern.), S. coffeae (Wlk.) and Coccus hesperidum L. Aphycus stanleyi (Comp.) is well established on Saissetia spp.
Although the Braconid, Opius humilis Silv., was established on the Mediterranean fruit-fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wied.), for a number of years it has now disappeared.
Parasites and predators introduced against Nipaecoccus nipae (Mask.), the onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lind., and the red spider mite, Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi), did not become established.
Projects at present in progress to control tree lizards, Anolis spp., and snails cannot yet be evaluated.
In the discussion a number of factors which may have contributed to the failure of establishment of some beneficial organisms are mentioned.
