RESUMEN
Se cita por primera vez al himenóptero Cales noacki How parasitando larvas de Trialeurodes vaporariorum (West.).
ABSTRACT
We are first reporting Cales noacki How. parasiting larvae of Trialeurodes vaporariorum (West.). Some characteristicas of C. noacki parasitism vs. that of Encarsia formosa Gahan on the same phytophagous are presented in detail. E. formosa parasitises the first larval stage of T. vaporariorum or the initiation of the second; whereas C. noacki parasitises from the second to the fourth stages. The larvae of white fly parasitised by E. formosa continue feeding on plant substrate, while this does not occur on those parasitised by C. noacki; finally, the teguments of T. vaporariorum parasitised by E. formosa usually turn blackish at nimphosis initiation, whereas this does not occur on those parasitised by C. noacki.
