bsfa-act Parasitoids known to attack Satumiidae, and hyperparasitoids reared from Satumiidae, are listed in taxonomic categories; about 350 species of parasitoids are recorded from about 175 species of Satumiidae. These include 105 Ichneumonidae, 21 Braconidae, 3 Trigonalyidae, 115 Tachinidae, 4 Sarcophagidae, 2 Pyralidae, as well as about 100 records for families of Chalcidoidea (Torymidae, Eurytomidae, Perilampidae, Pteromalidae, Chalcididae, Eupelmidae, Encyrtidae, Eulophidae,

All records are documented with citations to literature or specific records, many previously unpublished. Nomenclature of parasitoids and hosts is updated as far as possible. An index to the hosts refers back to the taxonomic list of parasitoids, so that all known parasitoids for a particular host can readily be found. The catalog includes several new unpublished records of parasitoids in southern Africa supplied by Rolf G. Oberprieler of the Plant Protection Research Institute, Pretoria.
