Pinnaspis aspidistrae Signoret (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) is a polyphagous pest that by sucking the sap, causes discoloration of the leaves and in high populations can damage the fruit causing marketing problems. One of its controllers is the endoparasitoid Encarsia citrina (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae), an alternative within integrated control programs for P. aspidistrae. The objective of this research was to evaluate the percentage of parasitoidism, percentage of emergence and survival of E. citrina at three constant temperatures and fed with and without honey in the case of survival. The percentage of emergence of E. citrina was studied by keeping adult females inside plastic cages and on pumpkins infested with P. aspidistrae in controlled climatic chambers at 20, 25 and 30 °C, with 65 - 70 % RH and a photoperiod of 14:8 h; for the percentage of emergence and survival the same conditions of the first trial were used, and for the latter, the supply of honey or absence of honey as food was added. The percentage of parasitoidism varied with temperature, with the highest percentage at 25 °C, followed by 20 °C and 30 °C, at which the percentage of parasitoidism was close to zero. The percentage of emergence of individuals at 20 °C and 25 °C was significantly higher and almost twenty times more than when exposed to 30 °C; however, there were no significant differences between the temperatures of 20 and 25 °C. E. citrina adults survived more days when fed honey and at a constant temperature of 20 °C and survived less when exposed to 30 °C and no food. Survival was nearly doubled at each temperature when fed honey.
