Abd-Rabou, S., & Abd-El-Samea, S.A. 2005 New record and host of Encarsia bifasciafacies (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) on sugarcane soft scale, Pulvinaria tenuivalvata (Homoptera: Coccidae), on sugarcane in Egypt.. Egyptian Journal of Agricultural Research 83(3): 1213-1215.

Notes: In September 2004, sugarcane leaves heavily infested by the sugarcane soft scale, Pulvinaria tenuivalvata (Homoptera: Coccidae), were collected from Qena (Nag-Hammadi), and then transferred to the laboratory for parasitoid emergence and identification. Encarsia bifasciafacies emerged from soft scale samples. This parasitoid is recorded for the first time attacking its new host, P. tenuivalvata, in Egypt.
