Encarsia inaron is a tiny parasitoid wasp that was collected in Italy and Israel and introduced into California in 1989 for the control of the ash whitefly, Siphoninus phillyreae (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae). Ash whitefly is native to Europe, the Mediterranean, and northern Africa. In both its native home and California it is commonly associated with woody shrubs and trees.
