Abstract/Contents: | Larra bicolor, a biological control agent of Scapteriscus mole crickets, has established a population in Gainsville, northern Florida. This population results from specimens collected in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, and released by F. D. Bennett in 1989. Previously, a Florida population of this wasp had been established only at Ft. Lauderdale in southern Florida; it resulted from releases made in the early 1980s by R. I. Sailer. The proximal origin of the Ft. Lauderdale population of L. bicolor is Puerto Rico, but its initial home of origin is Belem, Pará, Brazil." |
