Abstract

The order Hymenoptera is extremely important from the view of Biological control of insect pests. Biology forms the basic information for the workers involved in biological control programmes for formulating mass rearing. The genus glyptapanteles is rcognised bu Ashmead in 1905. It is one of the larger segregates of the old "Apanteles”. 5-10% of the species in temperate regions and about 25% in tropic , probably 1000 species in Wilkinsons group A or Nixons species group. 198 females and 111 males, wings, antenna, legs were mounted and studied. 150 early second instars of Plutella xylostella (Binn) on cabbage were exposed to five mated females of Glyptapanteles malshri sp. Nov. Parasitoid eggs and larvae were collected after 12h interval by dissecting parasitized host larvae in saline.
