Abd-Rabou, S. 1999 Parasitoids attacking the Egyptian species of armored scale insects (Homoptera: Diaspididae).. Egyptian Journal of Agricultural Research 77(3): 1113-1129.

Notes: A total of 18 parasitoids associated with the Egyptian armoured scale insects (Homoptera: Diaspididae) were recorded. The parasitoids belonged to the genera: Aphytis, Encarsia, Marietta, Habrolepis, Coccophagoides. Keys to the parasitoids attacking each species of armoured scale insects in Egypt were constructed, based on the morphology of the adult female. The general characteristics of the adult parasitoids are illustrated, together with more detailed figures of some key characteristics. The keys were designed for use with slide mounted specimens, and the techniques for their preparation are described.
