Abstract

The aim of this note is to report the parasitism of Aleurodicus pseudugesii Martin, 2008 (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) nymphs by Aleuroctonus marki Hansson & LaSalle, 2003 (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in coconut palm Cocos nucifera L. (Arecaceae) in Santa Izabel do Pará, a municipality in the Eastern Amazon. This is the first recorded instance of a parasitoid species in A. pseudugesii.
