Abstract

In order to stress the natural contro! agains citrus Leaf Miner (CLM) Phyllocnistis
citrella Stainton in Sicily, during 1999 Citrostichus phyllocnistoides
(Narayanan) has ben introduced and released in the field. It was bred together
with Semielacher petiolatus (Girault) under seminatura! conditions. During the
rearing it was observed that no competion between the two parasitoids occurred
and that both species survived and multiplied although the temperature lasted
above 40°C for many hours and in severa! days.
The results emerged from the releases of C. phyllocnistoides in some CLM' infested
citrus groves look not only at its recoveries, but also at its probable establishment
in Sicily.
