From 2017 to 2019, the study of dead caterpillars and pupae of boxwood moth Cydalima perspectalis Walker in various agro-climatic regions of the Crimea failed to identify parasites. Native species of entomophagans did not have time to adapt to boxwood moth. This paper provides information on the use of two species of entomophagans H. hebetor and Trihogramma sp. to regulate the number of pests. The effectiveness of H. hebetor ectoparasite against boxwood moth caterpillars of older ages was tested
