Bilog Obra, G.P., & Morallo-Rejesus, B. 2000 Biological studies of Aphytis sp. nr. chrysomphali (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae).. Philippine Entomologist 14(2): 137-147.

Notes: The parasitoid Aphytis sp. nr. chrysomphali was collected from coconut scale, California red scale (Aonidiella aurantii) and Florida red scale (Chrysomphalus ficus) attacking citrus in August 1989 from Villaverde, Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines. The biology of the parasitoid on coconut scale, Aspidiotus destructor Signoret, reared on squash was studied. The total developmental period of the uniparental (thelytokous) parasitoid from egg deposition to adult emergence ranges from 13-15 days with a mean of 14.18±0.90.
