	abstract = {Information is presented on the pupation site and overwintering of Tomosvaryella oryzaetora, Pipunculus mutillatus, P. javanensis and P. orientalis, parasitoids of the cicadellid rice pest Nephotettix cincticeps, from field studies in the Yamaguchi area of Japan in 1979-80. The results suggested that there are two types of overwintering in this area. In the first type, the parasitoids oviposit between mid-August and early September and adults emerge between late October and early December. The eggs oviposited at this stage hatch in the hosts, overwinter as 1st-instar larvae, pupate in early April and adults emerge in May to early June. In the second type, oviposition occurs between early and mid-October and larvae escape in mid- to late November, overwinter in the pupal stage and emerge the following spring. Between January and April, 1980, parasitism of 4th-5th-instar nymphs of N. cincticeps was 0-17\% while that of adults was 0-14\%.},

	abstract = {The paddy dwelling species of the family Pipunculidae in Japan have been studied mainly for their taxonomy and adult behavior, though the latter subject has not been covered completely. The biology of the flies, especially in their immature stages, remains unknown. The biology of some European species have been reported, and the knowledge obtained by these authors will be compared with the present data in the following lines. The biology of Tomosvaryella orzyaetora KOIZUMI, Pipunculus multillatus LOEW, P. javanensis DE MEIJERE and P. orientalis (KOIZUMI), parasitic on the green rice leafhopper Nephotettix cincticeps, were studied in Yamaguchi University Farm and nearby paddy fields in 1983 and 1984 where the four species are dominant among the paddy dwelling pipunculid flies and other species are extremely rare. The results of the biology of each developmental stage of these four species are described here.Abstract 2: The biology of 4 species of pipunculids, Tomosvaryella oryzaetora, Pipunculus mutillatus, P. javanensis and P. orientalis, parasitoids of the cicadellid Nephotettix cincticeps, was studied in the laboratory at 15, 20, 25 and 30{\textdegree}C. The specimens were recovered from N. cincticeps collected in rice fields in Japan in 1983-84. The development stages within the host are described, including orientation, morphology and development period. The threshold temperatures for pupal development of males and females of P. mutillatus and males of T. oryzaetora were 10.55, 10.56 and 12.88{\textdegree}C, respectively. Information is also provided on larval emergence from the host and the morphology and behaviour of pupae and adults. Multiple parasitism was found to occur only very rarely. The symptoms of parasitism by pipunculids on N. cincticeps are described.},
