摘要：

A survey of published and unpublished information was used to compile a list of insect parasitoids recorded emerging from the polyphagous pentatomid pest in the field worldwide. A totala of 57 species among 2 families of Diptera and 5 families of Hymenoptera is recorded; 41 are egg parasitoids. No hyperparasitoids are known. Most species are not closely associated with although some are well adapted and the status of others is unclear. Six species of nearctic and neotropical Tachinidae are well adpated to adults of and could become established in new areas; they also attack large nymphs. There are no effective parasitoids specific to nymphs. The scelionid probably of Old World origin, is the most widespread egg parasitoid and now occurs with in the New World, coastal Africa, southern Europe, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand and some Pacific islands. Unique complexes of egg parasitoids occur in parts of Africa and eastern Asia. On the basis of the distrubition of the genus and its species' colour polymorphs and egg parasitoid complexes, is considered to be of Ethiopian origin. African and Asian egg parasitoids in the genera and together with 6 species of New World Tachinidae, should be considered for establishment against elsewhere.
