Summary

In Antibes area, outbreaks ofC. rusci onFicus sp. occur after regular periods of 2 or 3 years.

The most important natural enemies of this pest are:

  • -Coccophagus lycimnia Wilk. (Aphelinids),

  • -Scutellista cyanea Motsch. (Pteromalids),

  • -Tomocera california How. (Pteromalids), and two species of the genusTetrastichus (Eulophids).

One of these is a primary parasite and the second is parasitic on the first.

It is supposed that these are the key factors of the dynamic of population ofC. rusci.
