 brassicae. [Physiological and Parasitological Studies on Injurious 

 Lepidoptera. The Oviposition of Apanteles, parasitic on Pieris 

 brassicae.] — C.R. Soc. Biol, Paris, Ixxxi, no. 22, 7th December 

 1918, pp. 1152-1155. 



The parasitism of the larvae of Pieris brassicae by Apanteles or 

 Microgaster glomeraius does not begin in the eggs of the butterfly, 

 contrary to the opinion held by Fabre. The Braconid is able to 

 oviposit in the eggs of the host, but such eggs either are destroyed 

 or yield unparasitised caterpillars. The normal oviposition of 

 Apanteles takes place in the young caterpillar of P. brassicae.
