Abstract
Meteorus loxostegei, Vier., is another important endoparasite of Loxostege sticticalis, L. It is perhaps second to Bracon vulgaris, Cress., in general importance as a control agent; it appears to be somewhat more variable in numbers than the latter species, but neither in the present work has been seen to reach the degree of parasitism shown by Phytodietus in Alberta in 1942.Keywords
