Abstract
Two species of hymenopterous parasitoids in the genus Acroclisoides are recorded as parasitoids of the scelionid egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis, an introduced biological control agent of Nezara viridula, the green vegetable bug. This is the first time that hyperparasitoids have been reportedly associated with N. viridula.Keywords
