Here we report for the first time the presence of Anagyrus kamali Moursi and Gyranusoidea indica Shafee, Alam and Agarwal (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), parasitoids of the pink hibiscus mealybug (PHM), Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), on San Andres Island, Colombia. Brief notes are provided to allow differentiation of the two parasitoid species.

Three baits for trapping the pitaya flower-bud fly, Dasiops saltans Townsend (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) in yellow pitaya, Selenicereus megalanthus (Cactaceae) orchards were evaluated. The tested baits were hydrolyzed soy protein (without monosodium glutamate), hydrolyzed soy protein with monosodium glutamate (commercial soy sauce), and hydrolyzed corn protein (without monosodium glutamate), which were put into McPhail traps ...
