Abstract: Two species of encyrtid (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) were reared from nymphs and female adults of Antonina graminis (Maskell) and Pseudococcus longispinus (Targioni Tozzetti) (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae) respectively, in Taiwan. Among them, Anagyrus thailandicus (Myartseva) is recorded in Taiwan for the first time. Cryptanusia taiwanus Chen and Chen sp. n. is new to science.
