“…(Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) that feed on many cacti (Cactaceae) and on some Amaranthaceae and Portulacaceae species. A complex of primary and secondary parasitoids in several families of Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera) was revealed during these surveys, many of these natural enemies were described as new species (Triapitsyn, Aguirre, Logarzo, Dal Molin 2014a;Triapitsyn, Logarzo, Aguirre, Aquino, 2014b;Triapitsyn, Aguirre, Logarzo, 2016;Triapitsyn et al, 2018;Triapitsyn et al, 2020;Noyes and Triapitsyn, 2018). Two of the primary parasitoids, Anagyrus cachamai Triapitsyn, Logarzo and Aguirre and A. lapachosus Triapitsyn, Aguirre and Logarzo (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), both known from Argentina and Paraguay (Triapitsyn et al, 2018), are candidate biological control agents against a Puerto Rican pest Hypogeococcus sp., commonly called the "Harrisia cactus mealybug" (HCM).…”
