Abstract

The pine moth, Dendrolimus houi (Lajonquiere), is a notorious insect pest of coniferous trees in South China. A gregarious egg parasitoid in the family Scelionidae shows great potential to be mass-reared for the biological control of D. houi. This parasitoid is identified as Telenomus dendrolimi (Matsumura) based on comparison to paratype specimens of Telenomus dendrolimusi Chu, a junior synonym of T. dendrolimi. Telenomus dendrolimi is redescribed and included in a molecular analysis. In addition to parasitizing D. houi, T. dendrolimi was found to successfully parasitize six other species under laboratory conditions, with Antheraea pernyi (Guérin-Méneville) the most suitable host for mass-rearing.
