The age of Eocanthecona furcellata (Wolff) eggs influenced the progeny production of Psix striaticeps (Dodd). Twenty four hour old eggs were most suitable and resulted in 19.6 per cent parasitisation and 91.83 per cent female parasitoids. Sixty hour old eggs were parasitised lest (8.4%). However, the age of the parasitoid did not affect parasitisation or progeny production.
