Abstract

Parasitic wasps of the genus Tamarixia represent important biological control agents of members of the Psylloidea group and are host specific; therefore, they can be delivery used to control insect pests. In this study we report for the first time the parasitoid Tamarixia dahlsteni in Mexico and its mitochondrial barcode region of the cytochrome oxidase 1 gene (CO1). We also reviewed the species diversity of the genus Tamarixia in Mexico.
