Pecan nut casebearer, Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig parasites collected in Doña Ana County, NM, and El Paso County, TX.

Abstract:

Parasitoids associated with A. nuxvorella were collected in El Paso County, Texas and Doña Ana County, New Mexico (USA) during 1999 and 2000. Biological control agents previously released (between 1991-94) in New Mexico for the control of A. nuxvorella wre identified; Agathis acrobasidis affected up to 33% of A. nuxvorella on one farm and Goniozus legneri affected less than 5% of collected specimens. Brachymeria hammari, not previously reported from New Mexico, parasitized less than 2% of specimens. One specimen tentatively identified as Cremastus sp. and 4 specimens of Clarkinella sp. were also collected.
