Abstract	Eretmocerus sudanensis = E. nr. emirates was released in 1992 into South Florida from Sudan to control Bemisia tabaci. It has since become the dominant Eretmocerus species in southwest Florida. Specimens were recovered at the Southwest Florida Research and Education Center in Collier County from a population of B. tabaci on collard Brassica oleracea, and the parasitoid described as new species, though as yet unpublished. Here we report results of studies conducted to evaluate the biology of this parasitoid of B. tabaci biotype B under laboratory controlled conditions (26°C ± 0.5, 13 h light, 62% ± 6 HR). No preoviposition period was observed for E. sudanensis. Females lived an average of 13.2 days and in this time deposited an average of 161 eggs at a mean oviposition rate of 13 eggs per day. The total compared favorably with published values for E. melanoscutus (123 eggs) and was similar to E. mundus (171 eggs). E. sudanensis showed the same tendencies of preference and suitability for the intermediate host stages (2nd and 3rd) as reported for these same 2 species. However, parameters such as development time from egg to adult (16 days) and net reproductive rate (Ro = 91.3 eggs/female) were shorter and greater, respectively, compared to published results for either E. melanoscutus or E. mundus under similar conditions. Such differences in demographic parameters could indicate a significantly greater reproductive potential for E. sudanensis.
