Dear Researchers,
Kindly help me to identify these larval parasitoids of Pink boll worm collected from cotton field of Sindh, Pakistan. These parasitoids emerged from larvae in laboratory condition in large quantity and their existence realized at the end of cotton harvesting stage
Regards
When enlarging your photographies of the parasitoid of the Pink bollworm, I can say that it is a Braconidae (Hymenoptera Ichneumonoidea) species. But I am not specialist of taxonomy of Ichneumonoidea. Only of small parasitoids (Chalcidoidea, Platygastroidea). Can I suggest that Cornelius Van Achterberg is a overworld famous expert for Ichneumonoidea (Braconidae, Ichneumonidae). Surely he could immediately identify this species living in Pakistan. He works in the Netherland National History Museum and also at the University of Peking (China). Sincerely yours.
