  • The exploration of the parasitoid of the eggs of the rice bug (Leptocorisa spp.) (Hemiptera:Alydide) in some centers of rice (Oryza sativa L.) farming in the lowland swamp of South Sumatera has been conducted. The objective of this study is to explore the kinds of parasitoid of the eggs of the rice bugs in some centers of rice farming in the lowland swamp of South Sumatera. The study was conducted from May 2008 up to October 2008. The result of the study reveals 27 individual Ooencyrtus spp. out of the total 46 (58.69%) eggs of the rice bugs gathered from the rice field, the wild vegetation, and the weeds of the lowland swamp of South Sumatera. The 27 individual Ooencyrtus spp. are only found from the collection of eggs of the rice bugs gathered in Musi 2 Gandus of Palembang. The result of the identification of the kind of parasitoid of the eggs of the rice bugs is Ooencyrtus spp. The imago of Ooencyrtus spp. found has morphological characteristics of having all bodily organs which are black, except for the fore wings and the hind wings which are blackish brown. The length of the imago is around 1 – 2 mm. The antenna of the ♂ and ♀ is in the form of filiform with elbows. The veins of the fore wings and the hind wings have been mostly reduced.
