dubius( Girault 1915a: 102) ( Rhopalencyrtoidea)
Type. QM
Distribution.E (Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Stanislaus, Ventura) Host/habitat.Hyperparasitoid of Coccus hesperidum, C. viridis, Parasaissetia nigra, Russellaspis pustulans, Saissetia coffeae, S. oleaevia Anicetus beneficus; Coccophagus ceroplastae, C. merceti, Encyrtus infelix, Metaphycus lounsburyi, M. varius, Microterys nietneri, Moranila californica, Scutellista caerulea
Remarks.This species, referred to in the literature as Quaylea whittieri( Girault 1918), was imported from Australiain 1901 under the mistaken belief it was a primary parasitoid of S. oleae. One synonym (and nomen nudum) of C. dubiusis Hemencyrtus crawiiCraw. Giraulthas been mistakenly attributed as the author of this name, but it was Ashmead who devised the name (without description), which was first published in Craw’s (1902) report. Essig (1926)considered this species to be the chief factor in reducing the efficiency of S. caeruleaand M. lounsburyiattacking S. oleaein southern California. Bernal et al.(2001)reported this species on citrus from the southern San Joaquin Valley (Fresno, Kern and Tulare counties) without specifying exactly which county this species occurred in. They also reared this species from a batch of Coccus pseudomagnoliarum, noting that the exact host still needs to be confirmed.
