Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus, 1758)
Cock (1985) reports the release of parasitic wasps Cotesia vestalis (Haliday) (= C. plutellae (Kurdyumov) ; Braconidae ) and Tetrastichis sokolowskii Kurdyumov ( Eulophidae ) in Tobago for the biological control of P. xylostella . This globally distributed pest of cabbage is certainly present, although I have not traced any specimens or more formal record. There are none in NHMUK or USNM.
