Type-species: Parasierola gallicola Kieffer. Desig. by Muesebeck and Walkley,

Several species have been reared from microlepidopterous pests such as the pink bollworm 

 and the Oriental fruit moth. Males are uncommon and thelytokous parthenogenesis may be com- 

 mon, four gererations of females having been reared from an unfertilized female.

 from unfertilized eggs.
