A tiny chalcid parasitoid wasp Cryptanusia
aureiscutellum
(Encyrtidae) from Australia that was introduced to South Africa
probably by accidental man induced dispersal via a widely
distributed mealybug
(Pseudococcidae, Hemiptera) that is this species host. The large
antennae, with chemical receptors help with host finding.
