Microctonus aethiopoides Loan (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) was introduced into New Zealand in 1982 for biological control of Sitona discoideus Gyllenhal in lucerne. Parasitism of Rhinocyllus conicus Froelich (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) by M. aethiopoides was first recorded in 1994. By 1997 parasitised R. conicus had been detected in seven lucerne stands, with up to 16% of weevils parasitised. This study investigated if parasitism of R. conicus by M. aethiopoides occurred only within lucerne. In December 1998 adult R. conicus were collected from nodding thistles in lucerne stands and in pasture at eight sites, in the Hakataramea and Waitaki Valleys, South Canterbury, and in the Strath Taieri, Otago and held in cages for four weeks. Parasitoids emerged from weevils from seven lucerne stands (range 0-12% (mean 4.4, SEM 1.44)) and seven pastures (0-29% (mean 6.5, SEM 3.3)). The difference between habitats was not significant (SED 3.98). There was no relationship between R. conicus density and the proportion of weevils parasitised within either habitat and neither was the proportion of weevils parasitised in a habitat related to the proportion parasitised in the other habitat. Parasitism of R. conicus by M. aethiopoides appears to be more common than previously thought but the significance of this parasitism within both lucerne and pasture is still to be determined.
