Comparative Study of the Morphology of the Ovipositor of Platygaster diplosisae (Hymenoptera: Platygasteridae) and Aprostocetus procerae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) Two Parasitoids Associated with the African Rice Gall Midge, Orseolia oryzivora (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

We studied the morphology of the ovipositor of Platygaster diplosisae (Hymenoptera: Platygasteridae) and Aprostocetus procerae (= Tetrastichus pachydiplosisae) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), two parasitoids associated with the African rice gall midge (AFRGM), and Orseolia oryzivora (Diptera: Cecidomyiid...
