- "Although euphorines usually oviposit between abdominal sclerites, often near the anus, some species exhibit a well-pronounced preference for different sites such as the mouth (Wylie, 1985), whilst others are evidently more plastic in their behaviour (Wylie & Loan, 1984). It is usual for the euphorines that attack beetles to have two, or sometimes more, annual generations on a single generation of their univoltine hosts."
