Chinese Journal of Entomology 20 (1), 9-12
Abstract: Three species of encyrtid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) were reared from nymphs of Trioza syzygii Li and Yang (Homoptera: Psyllidae) in Taiwan for the first time. Among them, Psyllaephagus stenopsyllae (Tachikawa) is Taiwan, Psyllaephagus taiwanus Xu sp. n. is new to science, Syrphophagus taiwanus Hayat and Lin is a hyperparasitoid . All species belong to Encyrtidae. The new species is described and illustrated in this paper.
