A laboratory ecosystems consisting of the aphid-host, Aphis craccivora reared on Cajanus cajan, Dolichos lablab and Solanum melongena host plants and the aphidiid parasitoid, Trioxys (Binodoxys) indicus, was used to determine the searching efficiency of T. indicus in the presence and absence of male parasitoids. The searching efficiency of female parasitoids was found to decrease in the presence of their own males. Therefore, it is suggested that the effect of males should be taken into account together with other factors while constructing the life table of the parasitoid.
