Diagnosis
Distribution
Hosts
This species is known from a few species of Agromyzidae: Agromyza oryzae, Liriomyza sativae, Liriomyza trifolii (Noyes, 2002, 2003).
Biology
Like all entedonines, N. okazakii is an endoparasitoid, most probably of larvae.
Comments
The three Neochrysocharis species can be found in large numbers (either singly or in combination) in some samples from Southeast Asia. They have the potential to be part of a complex of species contributing to biological control of leafminers in the region.
