File Information

Coccophagoides utilis is arrhenotokous. The females develop as internal primary parasites of Parlatoria oleae whereas the males develop adelphoparasitically on the prepupal and pupal stages of their own species. A significant aspect of the life history of C. utilis is a mechanism of retarded development in certain female progeny which ensures that the males on emerging meet with females.
