The seasonal life cycle of Zatypota albicoxa (Walker, 1874), a koinobiont ectoparasitoid of the house spider, Achaearanea tepidariorum, was examined at Hirosaki (40°36′N), Japan. In winter, larvae were found on the abdomen of host spiders. They grew rapidly, emerged as adults in mid-May, and reproduced shortly after emergence. The seasonal occurrence of the developmental stages in the field indicated that this parasitoid is multivoltine in Aomori Prefecture.", pages = "421-423(3)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bsc/ens/2007/00000010/00000004/art00012" doi = "doi:10.1111/j.1479-8298.2007.00231.x" }
