none Tea is made from the young leaves and unopened buds of the tea-plants, Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze. A number of pests cause considerable damage to these plants. The insect pest causing heavy economic loss is the larva of the moth, Cydia leucostoma (Meyr.). The larvae are usually called "flushworms". They were parasitized by a number of insect parasites. Perilampus sp. (tristis group) was the hyperparasite of flushworm and larval parasite of Bracon sp. The present investigation revealed that the Perilampus is also a larval parasite on Apanteles aristaeus (Nixon.). The presence of Perilampus on A. aristaeus is a new host record.
