The encyrtid wasp Epidinocarsis (= Apoanagyrus) lopezi (De Santis) was imported from Paraguay into Nigeria for the biological control of the cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti Matile‐Ferrero. It was mass‐reared and released at four localities in Nigeria. The parasitoid is now established and ...

The cassava mealybug (CM), Phenacoccus manihoti Matile-Ferrero was unknown to science when it was first discovered in 1973, along the Congo-Zaire river in Central Africa. In 1981, following inten¬ sive exploration and taxonomie studies, CM was found to have originated from a limited area of South...
