Annotated Checklist of California Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera) Author Zuparko, Robert L. text Zootaxa 2015 4017 1 1 126 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4017.1.1 086efdb4-44cf-4c0b-a796-1eb81f2cdd24 1175-5326 245475 BBFC3D93-6A7E-4862-84EF-021ADE2F4B3A Adelencyrtus Ashmead 1900 Hosts. Hemiptera : Coccidae , Diaspididae aulacaspidis ( Brèthes 1914: 29 ) ( Prionomitus ) Type . MACN Distribution. W (Alameda, Contra Costa, Los Angeles, Marin, Ventura) Host/habitat. Aulacaspis difficilis , A. rosae , Chionaspis salicis , Diaspidiotus macroporanus , Lepidosaphes cupressi , Pseudaulacaspis pentagona , Rhizopulvinaria nevesi odonaspidis ( Fullaway 1913: 27 ) [ New State record ] (RLZC) Type . USNM Distribution. A (Marin, Stanislaus) Host/habitat. Duplachionaspis sansevieriae , Odonaspis ruthae , O . saccharicaulis , O . sp. Remarks. Burks (1958b) reported a questionable host record of Antonia graminis , but I suspect this was due to a misreading of the host “ Odonaspis graminis ” as reported in the original description. While O . graminis Bremner remains a valid species, the host of A . odonaspidis in Hawaii is actually O . ruthae ( Ben-Dov 2006c ). The host record of “ Odonaspidis sp.” ( Noyes 2015 ) is probably referrable to a misspelling of Odonaspis . Although originally described in Hawaii, Timberlake (1919a) reported that its true place of origin was unlikely, but opined it may be from the warmer areas of Europe or Asia. The species has also been recorded from South Africa , Japan , Mexico , Brazil and the southeastern USA ( Noyes 2001 ), and was introduced into Bermuda in a biocontrol program against O . ruthae (but failed to establish). I consider its presence in California as an adventitious introduction.
