Searching native parasitoids of Ceratitis capitata is one of the activities carried out in the
Valencian Community in plots of citrus and other fruit trees. Adults of two different species of
hymenopterous insects have been obtained from medfly puparia reared under laboratory conditions.
The pteromalids Spalangia cameroni Perkins and Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani) have been
identified as idiobiont pupal parasitoids of the Medfly.
