| Abstract |
The Coccophaginae parasitoids ( Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) can play a distinguished role in the control of armored scale insects (Homoptera: Diaspididae) in Egypt. The present work deals with the survey of subfamily Coccophaginae and its role in controlling the armored scale insect in Egypt. Abundance of these parasitoids was carried out on 6 host plants attacking by 8 armored scale insects in 7 governorates . The results indicated that ten species of subfamily Coccophaginae are attacking armored scale insects in Egypt. These are, Encarsia aurantii (Howard), Encarsia berlesei (Howard), Encarsia citrina Craw, Encarsia lounsburyi Berlese & Paoli, Pteroptrix aegyptica Evans & Abd-Rabou Coccobius sp.,. Coccophagoids kumanai (Silvestri),. Coccophagoids similies (Masi), Encarsia perniciosi (Tower) and Pteroptrix bicolor (Howard). The maximum parasitism rates of the first five species ranged from 17 - 35%. The rest of the species, the parasitism rates was very rare.
