Opius spp. appears to be the most important, with a reported parasitism rate of up to 39.7% in the third generation of the fly in Europe (Bremer & Kaufmann, 1928). The pathogenic fungus Entomophthora muscae (Cohn) Fresen attacks the adult flies ( Bremer & Kaufmann, 1928 ).

Opius is a genus of wasps in the family Braconidae. [1] This genus has a wide geographic range and contains the majority of species in the subfamily Opiinae. [2]

Opius is a large and taxonomically difficult genus. Species are widely distributed on all continents, with over 550 described species. Opius species attack Diptera, mainly leaf-mining Agromyzidae and fruit-infesting Tephritidae; they oviposit in egg or larval stages and emerge from host puparia (Wharton, 1997d).
