Seasonal abundance studies on parasitoids associated with rice leaf folder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis were carried out during 2015 and 2016 in two agro-ecological zones of Himachal Pradesh i.e. Zone I (Sundernagar and Nurpur) and Zone II (Palampur and Jogindernagar). Five parasitoids namely, Cotesia cypris Nixon, C. ruficrus Haliday, Trathala flavoorbitalis Cameron, Elasmus sp., and tachnid fly were recorded to be specific to rice leaf folder larvae. Parasitization of rice leaf folder larvae by C. cypris varied from 7.14 to 44.45 per cent which was found to be the higher in all the four locations followed by tachnid fly (4.55-15.38%).
