Abstract
Rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica St. is one of the important laboratory hosts for mass culturing parasites of insect pests of crops. During November 1973, the authors came across an ecto-larval parasite infesting the laboratory culture of Corcyra and was found to be well established in almost all the host rearing cages. The parasite was later identified as Bracon hebetor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae).
