| Abstract |
This work dealt with the host range and distribution of the encyrtid parasitoid Metaphycus lounsbyryi (Howard) during 2004 and,2006 as well as its role in controlling soft scale insects in Egypt. The results indicated that the parasitoid, M. lounsbyryi was associated with 11 species of soft scale and distributed in 10 governorates. The host soft scale insects were Ceroplastes ftoridensis Comstoek, Ceroplastes- rusci (Linneus), Coccus capparidis (Green), Coccus hesperidum L., Coccus longulus (Douglas); ,Kilifia acuminata (Signoret), Parasaissetia nigra (Nietner), Pulvinaria ,tenuivalvata (Newstead), Saissetia coffeae (Walker); Saissetia oleae (Oliver) and Waxiella. mimosae (Signoret). Population abundance studies of M lounsbyryi were, carried out during 2004 and 2006 on the aforementioned soft scale insects in eight locations in Egypt, being Beni-Suef, Gharbiya, Giza, Ismailia , Qalyubiya, Qena, Marsa Matruh and Sharkia. The highest rate of parasitism attained with S. oleae, was found to be 35.1 and 38% during the, two years under considerations in North Sinai (E1-Arish) , The results indicated that.M lounsbyryi. was the effective parasitoid attacking some soft scale insects in Egypt.
