This paper is the third of four related submitted 10-minute papers on Trissolcus spp. as biological control agents of brown marmorated stink bug that we would like to schedule as a block if possible. Our paper will discuss the use of molecular assays to characterize Trissolcus spp., how this information relates to morphological taxonomy of the genus, and how it supports an ongoing program for biological control of this pest stink bug.
