Ivela auripes (BUTLER) (Lepidoptera : Lymantriidae) is highly stenophagous on Cornus controversa HEMSL. (Cornaceae) and univoltine, overwintering as eggs laid in single-layer, geometrically shaped masses on the trunks of host trees. Egg mortality analysis showed 30.5% egg parasitism (8.9 progeny/host ; 92% parasitism of egg masses) by Trichogramma sp. nov. which was nearly thelyotokous (4.6% males). Parasitized eggs were not evenly distributed throughout the egg mass (81% were perimeter eggs). Similarly, uppermost perimeter eggs were more frequently parasitized than those lowermost in the egg masses. A gray dust material (precise origin unclear) covers the exposed surface of the egg mass and the dust appeared as a barrier to Trichogramma oviposition in non-perimeter eggs. The source of the dust and morphological adaptations to facilitate dust acquisition and storage was explored. Ivela auripes females, but not males, both normally diurnal, were observed to fly at night and were attracted to street lights.
