Ghahhari, H., Shojai, M., & Bayat-Asadi, H. 2004 Report of Encarsia lounsburyi (Hym.: Aphelinidae) from Iran.. Journal of Entomological Society of Iran 23(2): Pe121-Pe122.

Notes: Three species of parasitoid wasps, E. berlesei, E. citrina and E. lounsburyi, were collected from Parlatoria ziziphi, Aonidiella citrina and Parlatoria pergandii in citrus fields in Mazandaran Province, Iran, in 2001-02. E. lounsburyi is a new record for Iran. E. lounsburyi and E. citrina are quite similar to each other and differs in the number of setae on the submarginal vein (one for E. lounsburyi and two for E. citrina).
