Abstract

A comprehensive 12-mo. survey of indigenous house fly parasites was conducted in the 3 geographic regions of North Carolina. Eight parasite species, Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Sanders, Spalangia cameroni Perkins, S. endius Walker, S. nigra Latreille, S. nigroaenea Curtis, S . n. sp. near drosophilae, Pachycrepoideus vindemiae (Rondani), and Nasonia vitripennis Walker were found. M. raptor was the most abundant parasite collected and the only species active throughout the year. S. cameroni,S. endius and S. nigroaenea , active from June through Nov., were the prevalent Spalangia species. A discussion of collection techniques is included.
