From January to July 2013, samplings of scale armored present in leaves, twigs and branches of creole avocado trees located in backyards of houses in the town of Parras, Coah., Mexico were taken twice a month, determining which is Quadraspidiotus perniciosus, thes escales emerged adult parasitoids of afelinidos Aphytis hispanicus and A. comparei averaging of both natural parasitism was 38.5%. Adults also emerged from a kind of flake signiforidae genera Signiphora, not knowing if it is acting as a primary parasite or hyperparasite in scale. Furthermore, coccinellids Diomus debilis and Chilocorus cacti predators of scale were collected. The fauna of natural enemies of Q. perniciosus is diverse and keeps their populations at levels that are not causing economic damage.
