Abd-Rabou, S. 2001 Parasitoids attacking the Mediterranean black scale, Saissetia oleae (Hemiptera: Coccidae) on olive in Egypt.. Entomologica 33(1999): 169-172.

Notes: [Special Issue: Proceedings of the ISSIS VIII International Symposium on Scale Insect Studies held at Wye College (U.K.), Aug. 31st - Sept. 6th, 1998.] Saissetia oleae is an important pest of olive trees in Egypt. A survey of the parasitoids of S. oleae was carried out monthly between April 1995 and March 1997 in three different locations in Egypt. Five species of Encyrtidae, a species of Pteromalidae and an aphelinid hyperparasite were found. Three of these records were new for Egypt.
