| Abstract |
Agathis fuscipennis (Zetterstedt) (Hymenoptera Braconidae) was collected for the first time from larvae of the tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera Gelechiidae) infesting Solanum nigrum (L.) plants in Tuscany (Central Italy). The knowledge about this parasitoid is still scarce. Its role in the biological or integrated control of T. absoluta remains to be evaluated. |
