Comments.
It is likely that the host recorded above is erroneous since species of
Anagyrus
are almost exclusively parasitoids of mealybugs (
Hemiptera
:
Pseudococcidae
). It is likely that the true host is
Phenacoccus pergandei
Cockerell, 1896
, a species commonly found on
Mallotus japonicus
in
Japan
(
KAWAI 1980
) and which looks very similar to
Pulvinaria
sp.
(
Hemiptera
:
Coccidae
). TACHIKAWA (1963) also states that the abovementioned host record is probably incorrect, as all specimens found later in
Japan
were reared only from
Phenacoccus
sp.
We were not able to find the
type
material of
A. alboclavatus
.
