Abstract

The tarnished plant bug,Lygus lineolaris(P. de B.), is the dominant mirid in crops grown in eastern North America (Strong 1968; Bariola 1969).Lygus lineolarisis an ubiquitous species found on a wide range of wild plants and cultivated crops (Knight 1941). All previously known egg parasitoids ofLygusspp. were mymarids in the generaAnaphes,Erythmelus, andPolynema(CIBC 1979). The mymaridAnaphes ioleGirault is the principal egg parasitoid ofLygusspp. in the United States (Debolt 1987). It has been reported from British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and the Northwest Territories(Huber and Rajakulendran 1988).
