Goolsby, J.A., & Kirk, A. 2005 Pseudococcus goodeniae Williams (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) and its parasitoids in the Pilbara of Western Australia.. Australian Entomologist 32(1-3): 1320-6133.
Notes: Pseudococcus goodeniae Williams, previously known only from the Erskine Range in northern Western Australia, is recorded from Karijini National Park in the Pilbara region. The mealybug was observed at high densities on its host plant Goodenia stobbsiana (Goodeniaceae). Several hymenopteran parasitoid species were reared from P. goodeniae, including Xenanusia pulchripennis Girault, Cheiloneurus Westwood sp., two unidentified species of Encyrtinae (all Encyrtidae) and Euryischia Girault sp. (Aphelinidae). This is the first published host association for a species of Xenanusia Girault.
