First record of Tamarixia dahlsteni Zuparko (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae), a parasitoid of Trioza eugeniae Froggatt (Hemiptera, Triozidae) and current status of the Tamarixia species in Mexico

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