Diagnosis
Distribution
This species known only from Southeast Asia.
Hosts
This species has been reared in association with the leafminers reared in this study, most notably Liriomyza huidobrensis.
Biology
No specific biological studies have been performed on this species.
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. This species was discovered through work on this project, and has only recently been described (Fisher & La Salle, 2005).
