Citrus Blackfly Parasitoid, Encarsia opulenta (Silvestri) (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) by Ru Nguyen

“…In 1950, E. opulenta from Saharanpur (India) were released for the control of A. woglumi in Mexico (Flanders 1969). The parasite was then introduced to Texas in 1971 (Summy et al. 1983), and Florida in 1976 (Hart et al. 1978) to suppress and maintain under the economic threshold the population of the citrus blackfly in these states. …”
