Noyes, J.S., & Schauff, M.E. 2003 New Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera) from papaya mealybug (Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara De Willink) (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Pseudococcidae).. Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 105(1): 180-185.

Notes: Two new Encyrtidae, Pseudleptomastix mexicana and Acerophagus papayae, are described and illustrated. Both species have been reared as part of exploration to find parasitoids of the papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara De Willink. Biological control programs currently underway are investigating these species, and we herein provide names and taxonomic information so these parasites can be utilized in the field.
