Species in this genus are mostly parasitoids of whiteflies and armoured scale insects ( Diaspididae ), and are of considerable economic importance. The systematics and biology of the genus are treated in detail by Heraty et al. (2008). Morphological terminology follows Schmidt & Polaszek (2007). All specimens studied in this paper are deposited in the following collections: BNHM: Natural History Museum, London, UK; UCR: University of California, Riverside, USA.
