Abstract	During the last eight years, the author has been studying and rearing parasitic wasps of the family Aphelinidae in Mexico. The most common hosts of aphelinids belong to the Aleyrodidae, Diaspididae, Coccidae but some species parasitize Aphididae, Pseudococcidae, and other Hemiptera. As a result of this work, much more information is now known regarding the biodiversity of parasitic wasps and their host-relationships in Mexico. Thirty new species of Aphelinidae, Encyrtidae, and Eulophidae have been described from Mexico by Myartseva and RuízCancino, 2000; Myartseva, et al., 2004) and several new distribution records of exotic species of parasitic wasps in Mexico or in separate states (Coronado Blanco et al., 2005) have been documented. The number of species of Aphelinidae known to occur in Mexico increased from 74 species in 2000 to 95 species in 2004. A previously unrecorded whitefly species (Sternorrhyncha: Aleyrodidae) was collected in Mexico during 2005-2006 in the following two localities in the state of Tamaulipas: Municipality Guémez on Citrus spp. (Rutaceae) in May 2005 and Ciudad Victoria on Punica granatum L. (Punicaceae) and Fraxinus spp. (Oleaceae) in January-February 2006. Usually, Fraxinus are shadow trees on the streets of Ciudad Victoria. Leaves infested with whitefly pupae were transferred to the laboratory for rearing of their parasitoids. Specimens were collected and preserved using standard entomological methods for parasitic wasps following Noyes (1982), with some modifications. All specimens (whitefly adults and pupae, and the parasitoids) are deposited in the Entomological collection of Universidad Autònoma de Tamaulipas in Ciudad Victoria, Mexico. Parasitoid species were identified using recently published keys and revisions of the species of the Aphelinidae. Volume 117, Number 4, September and October 2006 451
