Tao, M., Chen, G.H., & Yang, B.L. 2002 A preliminary study of parasitic wasps infesting Eulecanium gigantean (Shinji) around Kunming.. Journal of Yunnan Agricultural University 17(3): 225-227.

Notes: An investigation was carried out in 1999 and 2000 in Yunnan, China, of the species of parasitic wasps infesting Eulecanium gigantean [Eulecanium giganteum]. Five natural enemies were identified, including Blastothrix sericaei [Blastothrix sericea], Metaphycus pulvinariae, Coccophagus hawaiuensis [Coccophagus hawaiiensis], Metaphycus pulvinariae, and 2 unidentified species of Coccophagus. The first two species were predominant, with a parasitic rate of 88.3%. They offered a certain level of control of the population size of E. giganteum.
