'...this mostly excellent and authoritative book should surely provide a good basis for hauling this interesting and bizarre group of parasitoids back into strong focus for British hymenopterists.'Mark R. Shaw, British Journal of Entomology and Natural History, 1996.'Cet ouvrage est à recommander notamment à tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la lutte biologique contre les ravageurs des cultures.'Revue française d'Entomologie, 1995.
