Type-species: Doloresia filicor)iis Mercet. Orig. desig. 



The genus Eucarsia is morphologically similar to Prospaltella. Encarsia consists of about 50 

 species distributed throughout the world. They are primary internal parasites of whiteflies and 

 armored scale insects. Males of some species are purported to be hyperparasites on females of 

 the same species.
