El-Minshawy, A.M., & Saad, A.H. 1977 Role of parasitism and superparasitism of Scutellista cyanea Motsch. on its host scale insect Saissetia coffeae Wlk. in field and laboratory.. Bollettino del Laboratorio di Entomologia Agraria 'Filippo Silvestri'. Portici 34: 107-112.

Notes: Superparasitism occurred in a guava field due to competition on adult parasites and the scarcity of host adults offered for parasitization in the laboratory. Most of emerged adult parasites under superparasitism condition were males and dwarf-shaped. Females also were small and reproduced poorly. The longevity of adult parasites reared under superparasitism was studied and discussed.
