Prakasan, C.B., & Bhat, P.K. 1985 Interference of the predator, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, with the performance of a newly introduced parasite, Leptomastix dactylophii.. Journal of Coffee Research 15(1-2): 29-32.

Notes: Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Muls. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), a common predator of mealybugs, was found preying indiscriminately upon coffee mealybug (Planococcus citri (Risso)) parasitized by the newly introduced parasite, Leptomastix dactylopii How. (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), thereby interfering with the performance of the parasite.
