Abstract
This is the first report of Cacotherapia angulalis (Barnes and McDunnough) (Pyral idae: Galleriinae) feeding on Planococcus ficus BenDov (Pseudococcidae), the vine mealybug, in Mexico. A previous report (Powell and Opler 2009) found C. angulalis larvae feeding on tissue at the base of cones of Monterey cypress (Cupressaceae: Hesperocyparis macrocarpa (Hartw.) Bartel). There are two other species of Cacotherapia Dyar that have been found to be scavengers and/or to feed on scale insects and mealybugs. Cacotherapia nigrocinereella (Hulst) was reared on a scale insect (“Leucanium sp.”) (Dyar 1904), and C. unipuncta (Dyar), which was found under the bark of the domestic grape (Vitis vinifera L.), was described as:
