Encarsia sophia (parasitoid) (Girault & Dodd, 1915)
is a widespread parasitoid of whiteflies like Bemisia in tropical and subtropical regions. Fertilized eggs develop as primary parasitoids into females. However, unfertilized eggs are laid into already parasitized whiteflies and develop as hyperparasitoids into males. The adults are yellowish with a darker pronotum.
Synonyms:
Encarsia shafeei
Encarsia transvena
