I have collected B. tabaci nymphs to determine parasitism rates and parasitoid species attacking them. I usually collect Aphelinidae parasitoids form this samples, but recently I found two Mymaridae parasitoids. I would like to know where I can find information and maybe identification keys.
Thank you.
Yes, single leaves were collected and placed in individual petri dishes until parasitoid or whitefly emergence. But we had only 3 individuals out of more than 1500 leaf samples.
You can search the Noyes Chalcidoidea database at:

In this website there is a Mymaridae parasitoid on Bemisia tabaci
Chalcidoid family: Mymaridae
Anagrus lineolus
