	abstract = {The mating behaviour of Tomosvaryella oryzaetora, Pipunculus mutillatus and P. javanensis, parasitoids of the rice pest Nephotettix cincticeps, is described from field and laboratory studies in Japan in 1983-84. The host searching and oviposition behaviour of T. oryzaetora are also described.Abstract 2:  The mating behavior of Tomosvaryella oryzaetora Koizumi, Pipunculus mutillatus Loew and P. javanensis De Meurere is described. Mating in these species is mainly seen in the late morning and at dusk in paddy fields. In T. oryzaetora mainly studied, contact of the two sexes occurs on substrate or in the air, but the coupling of their terminalia is seen only on substrate. The female responds to the male on her back by spreading her wings, and raises her terminalia in order to accept the male aedeagus. In the final action, the male{\textquoteright}s legs hang freely and his wings vibrate rapidly. Host searching and oviposition behaviors of T. oryzaetora are also described.},
