The functional response and spatial distribution of parasitoid may be useful for understanding host-parasitoid dynamics because information on these will give knowledge of the host-parasitoid interaction, which could lead to the development of strategy for biological control of insect pests. The functional responses of A. asychis on the green peach aphid and potato aphid was investigated in eggplant leaf-disc arena. As a result, among the three types of functional response, type III best described the A. asychis response to the aphid densities, according to the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Functional response and spatial distribution of A. asychis on green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, was investigated on 5x5 eggplants in the net cage. After M. persicae were inoculated uniformly at the densities of 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 (per plant) on upper, middle and lower leaves of each 25 eggplants, one mated female of A. asychis was introduced on the central eggplant. Each aphid density was duplicated. A. asychis showed a type II functional response different from that estimated on the eggplant leaf-disc arena. Although the initial distribution of the aphids in the 25 eggplants was uniform vertically and horizontally, the aphids became gradually concentrated on the upper leaves of eggplants, so did immature A. asychis.
