During a study on soft scales (Hemiptera:
Coccomorpha: Coccidae) and their natural enemies in
Serbia, the parasitoid Coccophagus shillongensis Hayat
and Singh 1989 (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea:
Aphelinidae), a new species for Serbia, was recorded.
Originates from India, from where it was incidentally
introduced to Europe and first recorded for in Greece in
2017. Since then, there are no other data on this parasitoid.
During our research in 2016–2018, the species was
registered in the area of Belgrade at eight localities. It
was eclosed from six species of soft scales, five ofwhich
were new hosts. In addition to adult females, it also
parasitizes instar nymphs, which was not known until
now. The finding of males of this species in Serbia
represents the first record outside India.
