Distribution
Nordlanderia plowa is known from Africa (Nigeria, Zaire, Zambia, Zimbabwe). We have also found it in Vietnam and Indonesia, although it is not clear whether this was an introduction or part of its natural distribution.
Hosts
N. plowa has been reared from leafminers on mustard leaf and French
bean, although the exact species of host is not known
Biology
Like other eucoilines, N. plowa is an internal
parasitoid of larvae.
Comments
This is a rare parasitoid in Southeast Asia, and it is unlikely to be an effective control agent.
