MYARTSEVA, S. N.; RUIZ-CANCINO, E.; CORONADO-BLANCO, J. Ma.  and  CAMBERO-CAMPOS, J.. Parasitoids of Aleurodicus spp. (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Mexico, with description of a new species of Encarsia (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae). Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.3, pp.641-653. ISSN 2448-8445.

Data on whitefly parasitoids of the genus Aleurodicus distributed in Mexico are given (families Aphelinidae, Eulophidae, Encyrtidae, Signiphoridae and Pteromalidae). Parasitoids of A. coccolobae Quaintance & Baker, obtained in Mexico, are recorded for the first time. A new species, Encarsia nayarita Myartseva sp. n., parasitoid of A. coccolobae, is described, and a key to females in the group noyesi of the Encarsia genus is proposed.
