Sampling of crapemyrtle trees (Lagerstroemia L.) in central Texas yielded the discovery of an invasive scale pest, Lopholeucaspis japonica Cockerell, and its parasitoid natural enemy, Marlattiella prima Howard. These discoveries expand the known range of both the scale insect and the parasitoid wasp in the United States. Marlattiella prima was not recovered in the absence of L. japonica. Of the two counties sampled, Brazos County yielded 26 M. prima individuals and Tarrant County yielded neither M. prima nor L. japonica.

在德克萨斯州中部发现非本地寄生蜂 Marlattiella prima Howard（膜翅目，Aphelinidae）及其非本地宿主 Lopholeucaspis japonica Cockerell（半翅目，Diaspididae）

对德克萨斯州中部紫薇树 (Lagerstroemia L.) 的采样发现了一种侵入性害虫 Lopholeucaspis japonica Cockerell 及其寄生天敌 Marlattiella prima Howard。这些发现扩大了美国介壳虫和寄生蜂的已知范围。在没有 L. japonica 的情况下没有回收 Marlattiella prima。在采样的两个县中，布拉索斯县产生了 26 个 M. prima 个体，Tarrant 县既没有产生 M. prima 也没有产生 L. japonica。
