An updated list of parasitoid Hymenoptera reared from the Bemisia tabaci species complex (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) Author Lahey, Zachary Author Stansly, Philip text Florida Entomologist 2015 2015-06-30 98 2 456 456 http://www.bioone.org/doi/10.1653/024.098.0211 journal article 10.1653/024.098.0211 1938-5102 12768905 Ablerus Howard (Chalcidoidea: Azotidae ) Species of Ablerus (= Azotus Howard ) are most commonly recorded as primary, or hyperparasitoids, of immature Sternorrhyncha ( Hemiptera ) although certain species are known to attack lepidopteran eggs ( Darling & Johnson 1984 ) and the pupae of chamaemyiid Diptera ( Blanchard 1936 ). Material bred from whiteflies is typically assumed to be hyperparasitic on aphelinid primary parasitoids developing in the same host (Viggiani 1982; Evans 2007 ). Recently, Ablerus macrochaeta Silvestri was reported from B. tabaci in Guangxi and Yunnan Provinces in the People’s Republic of China following a 10 yr natural enemy census ( Li et al. 2011 ). Additional whitefly host records for A. macrochaeta include Aleurocanthus inceratus Silvestri , and the citrus blackfly, Aleurocanthus woglumi Ashby. The only other instance of an Ablerus species attacking a whitefly in the genus Bemisia is Ablerus inquirenda Silvestri parasitizing Bemisia (as Lipaleyrodes ) euphorbiae (David and Subramaniam) ( Evans 2007 ) .
