This year again I was photographing this little insect.
And again I consulted a specialist in Chalcidoidea, Encyrtidae, Antoni Ribes EscolĂ .
And with the new information that I could provide, if the expert has been able to establish a more precise identification. This is what the expert tells me: Species not mentioned even in Spain, although you know some specimens collected in citrus groves, unpublished.
Pseudococcidae numerous parasitoid mainly longispinus Pseudococcus, P.calceolariae, Planococcus citri also, Phenacoccus gossypii, Ferrisia virgata, etc., On citrus and other tropical areas of coffee, avocado, etc..
It is of Australian origin, and introduced for biological control of pests in Hawaii, California, Africa, and recently in Italy and Israel. "
I'm also the photos that I have done this year.

Best regards.
