Abstract Ganaspis Foerster includes several cryptic species that are important larval parasitoids of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), spotted-wing drosophila (SWD). suzukii, native to Asia, was first discovered in 2008 North America and Europe, becoming a devastating soft-skinned fruit crops. Biological control could be among safest, most environmentally benign, cost-effective methods for long-term landscape-level management this pest. Foreign exploration East Asia major D. parasitoids. One them initially described as brasiliensis (Ihering) consisted 2 genetic groups (G1 G3). The now recognized different species, kimorum Buffington lupini Buffington. more host-specific G. selected approved field release United States 2021 has been widely released since 2022. Here, we provide comprehensive overview parasitoid’s taxonomy, current known distribution, biology, ecology, mass-rearing methods, biological potential.
