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.},

	abstract = {As part of the studies on the pipunculid flies in paddy fields, their seasonal abundance and percentage parasitism in the green rice leafhopper Nephotettix cincticeps were studied in insecticide-treated and untreated paddy fields. Four pipunculid species were frequently caught from August to October. The percentage of parasitism in host adults by the flies was high in June-July and in October-November.Abstract 2: The seasonal abundance of pipunculids and the percentage parasitism of their host, the cicadellid Nephotettix cincticeps, was studied in insecticide-treated and untreated rice fields in Japan during March-November 1983-84. Four species, Tomosvaryella oryzaetora, Pipunculus mutillatus, P. javanensis and P. orientalis, were caught frequently between August and October. Percentage parasitism was highest in June-July and October-November.},

	abstract = {Studies were carried out in rice fields in Yamaguchi City, Japan, in 1980-83 to determine the effect of parasitization by pipunculids on the behaviour of Nephotettix cincticeps. The pipunculid species present were Pipunculus mutillatus, P. javanensis, P. orientalis, Tomosvaryella oryzaetora and T. epichalca. Percentage parasitism was 0-8.71 (averaging 2.55) for light-trap collections and 2.29-26.57 (averaging 13.34\%) for sweep-net collections. Examination of 236 examples of N. cincticeps attracted to windows on 25 July 1983 revealed no pipunculid larvae. However, both young and fully-developed larvae were found in examples of N. cincticeps collected in fields by both methods, and some of these adult hosts with empty abdomens contained fully-developed larvae. The results showed that the flight behaviour of N. cincticeps was affected by parasitization, and this was thought to be due to damage to the thoracic muscles and nervous system and to poor physiological condition.},
