Two parasitoids of Hypothenemus hampei, the bethylids Cephalonomia stephanoderis and Prorops nasuta, were recently sent to Mexico to initiate a biological control programme. C. stephanoderis proved to be easier to rear and immediately after release caused marked reductions in local populations of H. hampei. Establishment appears to be confirmed as parasitoids were found in the field 6-8 months after initial releases, but harvesting of the coffee led to large reductions in levels of parasitism. Further possibilities for control of H. hampei are discussed.
