Abstract
The family Encyrtidae is represented by two subfamilies, Encyrtinae and Tetracneminae, and currently includes over 460 genera and nearly 3,800 described species (Noyes, 2003). All Tetracneminae and the majority of Encyrtinae are reported as parasitoids of mealybugs, whereas some encyrtines are associated with a number of other arthropod hosts (Noyes, 2003; Simutnik & Trjapitzin, 2008).
