L.  aParasitism of Sirex noctilio f. by Schlettererius cinctipes (Cresson) (HymenopterabStephanidae).h[electronic resource]  c1967  aSchlettereriw cinctipes (Cresson), reputed to be a parasite of Coleoptera, has been success-fully reared in Tasmania on Sirex nocrilio F. in Pinw rudiata D. Don., from a singlefemale received from California in 1963. The adults emerge in late September and early October. Females begin to oviposit 12-24 days after emergence and the egg, which isdeposited on the surface of the host larva, hatches in approximately 14 days. The larva completely destroys the host larva in 6-7 weeks after oviposition. Parasitized Sirex larvae were found at depths of up to 3.4 cm from the bark surface. No evidence has been found that S. cinctipes attacks Sirex larvae parasitized by Ibuliu leucospoides (Hochenw.), or fully-fed larvae of Rhyssa persuasoria (L.),and its potentialvalue as a member of the parasite complex is discussed.  aparasitism  aInseto Para Controle Biológico  aVespa da Madeira  tJournal Australian Entomologica Societygv. 6, n. 1, p. 13-19, 1967.
