 turionellae turionellae (Linnaeus). Eurasia; n. Africa. Introduced in 1950, 1955 in N. S.; 1952 

 in Que.; 1935- 1937, 1950-1954, 1956, 1958 in Ont.; 1906-1909 in New England (probably 

 Mass.), 1935-1938 in Conn., N. Y., N. J.; 1937 in Minn, and Ida.; establishment has 

 apparently not occurred, although a few recoveries have been reported in Ontario. Host: 

 Rkyacionia buoliana (D. and S.), Lymantria dispar (L.), Laspeyresia pomonella (L.), 

 Operophtera brumata (L.). Many other hosts are known, but these are the introduced 

 pests which were target hosts for introductions of turionellae in North America; a 

 number of native pests were target hosts for some of the introductions, however. C. 

 turionellae moraguesi (Schmiedeknecht) occurs in northern Africa (Pimpla freyi Hellen 

 is probably a synonym of t. moraguesi).

Tribe THERONIINI 



Townes (1969) included the genera Peritkotcs, Delomerista, and Pseudorhyssa in this tribe. 

 Because the placement of these genera in the Theroniini was only provisional and because the 

 name Delomeristini (Hellen, 1915) has priority over the name Theroniini (Cushman and Rohwer, 

 1920), the aforementioned genera are here placed in the Delomeristini. The genera of Theroniini 

 occurring in North America are Theronia and Neotheronia, the latter being treated by Townes 

 (1969) as a subgenus of Theronia. Because the division between Neotheronia and Theronia is 

 not at all arbitrary, they are here treated as separate genera. The species of Neotheronia and 

 Theronia are usually primary or secondary parasites of the pupae of Lepidoptera.
