Abstract

The present work dealt with the survey of Family Signiphoriclae in Egypt. The results indicated that the parasitoid species collected were Signiphora flavella Girault and Chartocerus nigra (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Signiphoridae) associated with Henyberiesla rapax (Comstock) and Chrysomphalus aonidum (L.) (Homoptera: Diaspididae), respectively. These parasitoids recorded here for the first time in Egypt.
