Abstract: Four hymenopteran species viz. Ormyrus orientalis Walker (Ormyridae), Euderus lividus (Ashmead) (Eulophidae), Eurytoma sp. (Eurytomidae) and Senegalella sp. (Torymidae) were reared and studied as parasites of Melanagromyza obtusa (Malloch) (Dipt., Agromyzidae) in India. The biology of M. obtusa and their parasites is briefly described. A view is given on the possibility of using these parasites for biological control.
