Biology of Solenotus begini (Ashmead)1

Abstract
The developmental stages of the parasitic wasp, Solenotus begini (Ashm.) are traced on the leaf-miner Phytomyza atricornis Meigen. The parasite pupates between 2 rows of symmetrically arranged pillars of meconium. These pillars support the ceiling of the mine and prevent its collapse onto the otherwise unprotected pupa.
