	abstract = {The effect of pipunculid parasitism on the population dynamics of the cicadellid Nephotettix virescens was studied in asynchronous rice planting areas of central Java and Bali, Indonesia. The parasitism of N. virescens adults was greater in migrant-producing, 1st and 2nd generations in paddy fields than in the other generations, which were mainly composed of immigrants from outside the area. These included populations obtained in seed beds, paddy fields 1-4 weeks after transplanting and ratoon fields 1-4 weeks after harvest. Since the parasitism occurred mainly in the nymphal stages, the above results indicated a suppression of migratory activities of parasitised N. virescens. The parasitism rate of 1st-generation adults was related positively to the adult density and negatively to the percentage of mature females among parasitoid-free females. The effects of a greater emigration rate of healthy adults on the parasitism rate of resident populations were analysed using mathematical models. The results showed that the role of pipunculid parasitism as a factor stabilising or destabilising population fluctuations of N. virescens was quite limited.},

The only species known to be of economic importance is Verrallia aucta, which parasitizes the adults of the aphrophorid Philaenus spumarius and the cercopid Neophilaenus lineatus in the UK. This is also the first report from Romania of the genus Verrallia, of which 2 species are listed in this paper. The number of pipunculid species known in Romania is now 26.},
