Florida Entomologist 88 (2), 217-218
Abstract: The trichogrammatid wasp, Paracentrobia americana (Girault), was reared from egg masses of the leafhopper Homalodisca insolita (Walker) maintained in culture at the University of Florida North Florida Research and Education Center in Quincy, Florida. This discovery is a new host record for P. americana. Parasitized egg masses were found on Johnson grass, Sorghum halepense (L.) Persoon.
