Leon, M.G., Evans, G.A., & Campos, J.C. 2001 [Parasitoids of the Homoptera citrus pests in the Meta Department of Colombia.] Parasitoides de plagas (Homoptera) de los cítricos en el departamento del Meta, Colombia.. Revista Colombiana de Entomología 27(3-4): 143-146.

Notes: Studies on the presence of native parasitoids of Homoptera citrus pests were conducted during 1999 and 2000 in four production zones of the eastern plain Piedmont in the Meta Department of Colombia. The presence and identity of 33 different parasitoid species of citrus pest were determined. The parasitoids identified belong to the following families: Aphididae, Aphelinidae, Encyrtidae, Eulophidae, Eupelmidae, Pteromalidae and Signiphoridae. The greatest number of parasitoid species was isolated from the following hosts: Saissetia spp. (8 species), Coccus hesperidum (7), whiteflies (6, mostly associated with Aleurothrixus floccosus) and Lepidosaphes spp. (3). All parasitoids are widespread in all citrus areas in the Meta Department. Twenty-four records were considered as new to Colombia. Three species were hyperparasitoids of Signiphoridae associated with whiteflies.
