Résumé
La recherche des ennemis naturels deBissetia steniellus (Hampson) [Lep. Pyralidae] gravement nuisible à la canne à sucre dans la province du Punjab, a permis de découvrir six espèces parasites des chenilles et deux autres parasites des chrysalides. Aucune de ces espèces n'avait été trouvée auparavant sur cet hôte. L'auteur suggère l'extension de cette étude en vue de vérifier le rôle du BraconideStenobracon deesae Cameron vis-à-vis de ce Lépidoptère d'une part, et de rechercher au Vietnam de nouveaux parasites de cette espèce pour leur introduction ultérieure en Inde d'autre part.
