Abstract
Apanteles angaleti Muesebeck (Hymenoptera : Braconidae) is an endoparasite of the pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypeilla, a notorious pest of cotton, that is India's white gold. Large numbers of these parasites were bred and sent to the U.S.A. in 1954 for multiplication and liberation against this pest in the cotton-growing belt of the Southern States. In this paper the effect of temperature and humidity on the rat of development of the parasite has been studied in detail. These studies will enable the utilization of the parasite for the biological control of the pest on a more rational basis.
