The Chalcidoid Parasites of Lac-Insects

Abstract

For the biological study of Tachardia lacca , Kerr, it is of importance to have, so far as possible, a complete knowledge of all the insects that live in relation with it—predators and parasites of the Coccid, parasites of the predators and hyperparasites. This biological complex begins to be better known, owing to the studies of several entomologists in India, especially at the Indian Lac Research Institute at Namkum.
