Abstract

A new aphelinid species, Mexidalgus veracruzanus sp. nov., was reared from Mesolecanium mayteni (Hempel, 1900) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) from the State of Veracruz, Mexico. This coccid species, previously known only from Brazil, is a new record for Mexico and a new host for the aphelinid genus Mexidalgus Myartseva, 2014.
