Review and key to the world parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) of Greenideinae aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae), including notes on invasive pest species
Annals of the Entomological Society of America 103 (3), 307-321
Abstract: A review and illustrated key of the aphidiine parasitoids of Greenideinae aphids is presented including their distribution. Fissicaudus thailandicus Starý and Rakhshani sp. nov. from Thailand is described and figured. Parabioxys songbaiensis Shi and Chen is redescribed based on reared specimens from North Korea. Faunal peculiarities and relationships of the taxa are discussed together with a synopsis of their potential as biocontrol agents.
