“Telenomus (Scelionidae) egg parasitism of Helopeltis antonii (Miridae) on guava/neem/tea is a recognised Indian biocontrol relationship; interaction direction and beneficial classification are correct.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Telenomus spp. egg parasitism of Helopeltis antonii is documented in Indian tea/guava systems; the scelionid-mirid egg parasitism mechanism is taxonomically and ecologically sound.”
