The author (1959) reported on four species of Hymenoptera that had not been previously recorded as parasites of the armyworm, Pseudaletia unipuncta (Haw.). During further studies at Ottawa four more new records were obtained: Three species were primary parasites, namely, Netelia sayi (Cush.) (Ichneumonidae), Nepiera marginata (Prov.) (Ichneumonidae), and Microplitis alaskensis Ashm. (Braconidae); and one species, Catolaccus cyanoideus Burks (Pteromalidae), was a secondary parasite. N. marginata and M. alaskensis were also reared from larvae collected at Kapuskasing, Ontario.

An epizootic caused by Furia virescens (Thaxter) Humber (Zygomycetes: Entomophthorales) was studied in a population of armyworms, Pseudaletia unipuncta (Haworth), in a tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea Schreber (Poaceae), pasture in Arkansas. Prevalence rates in live larvae collected from the field were 21.6, 8.1 and 13.5% for F. virescens, the braconid parasitoid Glyptapanteles militaris (Walsh), and an unidentified mermithid nematode, respectively. In a laboratory trial one Heliothis virescens (F.) larva was infected by F. virescens. Previously unrecorded aspects of the morphology and life cycle of F. virescens are described. Pseudaletia unipuncta and H. virescens are new host records for F. virescens.
