Abstract

A wide range of parasitoids are found attacking the mealybug species belonging to families namely Aphelinidae, Encyrtidae, Platygastridae, and Signiphoridae.

The rest of parasitoids (5 species) are secondary parasitoids which belong to the families; Aphelinidae,Encyrtidae, Pteromalidae, Signiphoridae and iInformation about host insects, host plants, distribution, biological notes and role in the biological control for mealybug' parasitoids were recorded in this paper.
