A new species of the genus Anagyrus Howard RESULTS (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), A. ciomperliki sp. n., is TAXONOMY described from Puerto Rico (USA) as a primary parasitoid Anagyrus ciomperliki Triapitsyn sp. n. of Hypogeococcus sp. (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) on (Figs 1-9) Pilosocereus royenii (Cactaceae). It is presumably a native http://zoobank.org/0D0A54E0-7E61-4958-8AFC- natural enemy of Hypogeococcus sp., commonly called the D48B01177E96 Harrisia cactus mealybug which is often misidentified as Type material.

All the specimens had been initially preserved in 80% The holotype is in excellent condition, complete, dissected ethanol; later they were dried using a critical point dryer, under 4 coverslips. Paratypes (2 females, 2 males), same point-mounted, and then one female and one male were data as the holotype [1 male on point, MEBT; 1 female, 1 slide-mounted in Canada balsam. Terms for morphological male on points and 1 male on slide, UCRC]. The correct features in the description are those of Gibson (1997). host is the Harrisia cactus mealybug, Hypogeococcus sp.
