Abstract : A survey of the natural enemies of the cicadellids Idioscopus clypealis and I. niveosparsus, which are pests of mango, was conducted in 3 provinces in Taiwan from August 1987 to August 1988. A total of 5 parasitoids was identified: Gonatocerus sp., Erythmelus sp., Mirufens sp., Tetrastichus sp. and Centrodora idioceri. Gonatocerus sp. had the highest average rate of parasitism (78.6%). C. idiocera is recorded for the first time from Taiwan.
