This web site provides information about taxonomy, biology, and distribution of Australian Encarsia species attacking the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), and the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood). The genus Encarsia contains species which are important biological control agents of whiteflies and scale insects.
