Abstract
AbstractFemales of Eupteromalus dubius (Ashm.) oviposit on pupae of cyclorrhaphous Diptera and the larvae develop gregariously as ectoparasites. Details of the life history of E. dubius are described. A progressively lower percentage of female progeny of E. dubius matures as the parasite:host ratio increases. Three mechanisms that may cause this sex ratio change are examined and discussed.
