“Oligosita spp. as important rice planthopper egg parasitoids leveraging non-rice habitats is consistent with rice landscape-management research.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Oligosita (Trichogrammatidae) parasitism of delphacid eggs is documented; alternative-host use is plausible but less species-specifically documented than for Anagrus — directionally correct.”
