Notes: In a commercial greenhouse of Stephanotis plants, biological control of citrus mealybbug, Planococcus citri, was carried out. The introduction of two parasitoid species, Leptomastix dactylopii and Leptomastidea abbnormis, resulted in successful control during summer and autumn. In winter, no control was achieved.
