Abstrakt: The parasitic fauna of Diprion similis in North Carolina was investigated by rearing field-collected cocoons from 1978 to 1982. The fauna is impoverished compared with Wisconsin. The torymid, Monodontomerus dentipes (Dalman), and the eulophid, Dahlbominus fuscipennis (Zetterstedt), were transferred from Wisconsin, and small numbers of three European species of egg parasites were also released. Very high levels of parasitism by M. dentipes were subsequently observed.
