Title in English: [Establishment and dispersal of Aphytis melinus and A. lingnanensis (Hym.: Aphelinidae), two parasitoids introduced to control Chrysomphalus dictyospermi Morgan and Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell) (Hem.: Diaspididae) in citrus of the Valencian region (Spain)] Abstract: Aphytis melinus was introduced in 1976 to control Ch. Dictyospermi and A. lingnanensis in 2000 to control A. aurantii in Valencia region (East of Iberian Peninsula). The establishment and dispersal of both parasitoids has been studied from their introduction year to 2003. Localities of parasitoid introduction were sampled together with other plots distant 2 km minimum from the releasing point. Aphytis melinus is present in all the localities prospected in this survey. Aphytis lingnanensis is only established in Castell?n (North of Valencian region) and its dispersal has not been observed.
