Abstract
During routine surveys for egg parasitoids of sugarcane borers in the Cauvery Delta zone of Tamil Nadu, Nipponaetus haussleri (Uchida) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) was recovered from an egg mass of sugarcane top shoot borer, Scirpophaga excerptalis. This is the first report of an ichneumonid from a lepidopteran egg mass.
