Superfamily CHALCIDOIDEA 929 



The only species of this genus was imported from Europe in attempts to control the Rhodes 

 grass scale, Antoniua g raw in is (Maskell). Biological control of this pest is achieved by another 

 parasite, Neo(lits»ietia saugwani (Subba Rao), but T. eiiropeaea (Mercet) has become 

 established.
