Ryckewaert Philippe, Alauzet Claude. 2002. The natural enemies of Bemisia argentifolii in Martinique. Biocontrol, 47 (1) : 115-226.

Résumé : An eight year survey was conducted in Martinique on vegetable crops and weeds to develop a list of the natural enemies of the whitefly #Bemisia argentifolii# Bellows and Perring. More than fifteen species of predators and parasitoids were found as well as one entomopathogenic fungus (#Paecilomyces# sp.). The primary predators were ladybirds (#Delphastus pusillus# and #D. pallidus#) and bugs (#Nesidiocoris tenuis#, #Macrolophus# cf. #caliginosus#, #Orius insidiosus#). The most common parasitoids were #Eretmocerus tejanus#, #Encarsia luteola#, #E. nigricephala#, #E. transvena# and #Amitus bennetti#. Observations on the biology and distribution of these natural enemies are provided.
