TI  - The determination of the biological stages of the host, Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), preferred by the parasitoid, Aenasius arizonensis Girault (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae)
AB  - This study was conducted to determine the host stage preference of the parasitoid,Aenasius arizonensis Girault (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), on Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley(Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). No-choice and choice experiments were carried out. There wasapproximately 30% parasitism of the third nymphal stage and more than 70% parasitism of femaleadults. This parasitoid does not parasite the first and second nymphal stage of P. solenopsis becausethese stages are smaller and more mobile than the third nymphal stage and adult females.
