Abstract
The present work deals with the survey of the host insect of the parasitoid Metaphycus lounsburyi (Howard) (Hymenoptera : Encyrtidae) in different locations in Egypt. The results indicated that this recorded parasitoid is associated with the fig pit scale, Russellaspis pustulans (Cockerel!) (Homoptera : Asterolecanidae).This is the first record for this parasitoid on fig pit scale, R. pustu/ansas a new host in Egypt and available host insect world litrerature. Also, during the present work, 10 host soft scale insect species were recorded associated with this parasitoid. Nine of them are recorded here for the first time in Egypt. The parasitoid M. lounsburyi recorded here is distributed in Beni-Suef, Gharbiya, Giza, Ismailia, Marsa Matruh, North Sinai (EI-Arish), Qalubiya, Qena and Sharqiya govemorates.
