Host records. In Finland, it is reported from the following tephritid (Diptera): Carpomyia incompleta (Becker, 1903) on Zizyphus sativa L., Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824), Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin, 1790) on Olea europea L., Euphranta connexa (Fabricius, 1794) on Cynachum vincetoxicum L. (Fischer and Koponen 1999). It is introduced in several countries for controlling several tephritid species: in Puerto Rico against Anastrpha suspensa (Loew, 1862) and A. obliqua (Macquart, 1835) (Muesebeck 1931); in Costa Rica against Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) (Wharton et al. 1981); El Salvador against C. capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) (Hentze et al. 1993; Wharton et al. 1981); in Florida (USA) against Anastrepha suspensa (Loew, 1862) (Baranowski et al. 1993). In South Africa, it is reared from Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin, 1790) (Diptera: Tephritidae) (Mkize et al. 2008).
