title: Biological notes on Ceranisus menes (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Entedoninae), a biological control agent of thrips, in Ukraine
abstract: Habitat association, ovipositing behaviour and early stages of development of an asexual (parthenogenetic) strain (yellow color-type) of entedonine <em>Ceranisus menes</em> (Walker, 1839), were studied. <em>Ceranisus menes</em> is an endoparasitoid species associated with thrips, likely of tropical origin. In Central Ukraine, this species is associated with flowers of knapweeds, in particular the greater knapweed, <em>Centaurea scabiosa</em> ssp. <em>apiculata</em>, where it hunts for immature t
