Doutt, R.L. 1950 The parasite complex of Furcaspis oceanica Lindinger.. Annals of the Entomological Society of America 43: 501-507.

Notes: Populations of the red coconut scale, Furcaspis oceanica Ldgr., were found to be suppressed effectively throughout the western Caroline Islands by a new species of Encyrtidae described as Anabrolepis oceanica. This parasite was transported to Saipan in an attempt to control the coconut scale on that island. In the western Caroline Islands two supposedly secondary parasites were found to be associated with the populations of Anabrolepis oceanica. These were Marietta carnesi (Howard) and a new species of Aphelinidae designated as Ablerus palauensis.
