Two egg parasites (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) of the black field cricket,Teleogryllus commodus(Orthoptera: Gryllidae), in New Zealand

Abstract: Calliscelio teleogrylli n.sp. is described, and with Probaryconus dubius (Nixon) is recorded in New Zealand for the first time. Both species are egg parasites of the black field cricket, Teleogryllus commodus (Walker). Both parasite species were found north of 39°S, but whether they occur throughout the range of the host is not known. Preliminary investigations showed that 43% parasitism of cricket eggs can occur in the field. The possible significance of these parasites to host population dynamics is discusse… Show more

“…The only host record is for Calliscelio teleogrylli Hill, which was reported to attack the eggs of Teleogryllus commodus (Walker) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae), a widespread pest in pastures in the Pacific region (Hill 1983). By comparison with Calliscelio teleogrylli , Masner et al (2009) suggested that Calliscelio elegans may attack the eggs of one or more species of Gryllidae associated with sugar cane.…”
