none Data were presented on the biology and behavior of E. cinctipes during search for and selection of the host. Stimuli that this entomophage uses to find and choose the host were determined. Due to its high search capacity, high reproductive potential, the synchronization of its life cycle with the host, its low mortality rate, species-specificity and high capacity for dispersion, E. cinctipes is an effective entomophage, which may be recommended as a promising tool for the biological control of the cabbage moth.
