Abstract

Five species of parasitic wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) were reared from the soft scale Differococcus argentinus (Morrison, 1919) in the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico: the aphelinid Coccophagus nigrans Myartseva, and the encyrtids Metaphycus celticola Myartseva, Gahaniella californica Timberlake, Vivamexico tamaulipeca (Trjapitzin & Myartseva) and Encyrtus sp.
