到目前为止，在菲律宾还没有报告过Comperiella Howard虫属，而目前在菲律宾，特别是在吕宋岛南部和棉兰老岛的一些地区暴发了椰子鳞片虫Aspidiotus rigidus Reyne。在孔雀虫种中，据报道只有石井单翅拟虫是刚硬拟虫的寄生蜂。我们不仅报告了在菲律宾拉古纳省和巴丹加省部分地区进行的调查中新发现的这种寄生性属，而且还发现了一种可能的新种，如c.u unifasciata，已被发现以很高的比例寄生于刚性寄生蜂。这些发现显示了生物防治威胁我国椰子产业的椰子蚧问题的潜力。
The encyrtid genus Comperiella Howard has so far not been reported in the Philippines, where there is currently an outbreak of the coconut scale insect Aspidiotus rigidus Reyne particularly in the southern parts of the island of Luzon and in some areas in Mindanao. Among Comperiella species, only C.unifasciata Ishii has been reported as a parasitoid of A.rigidus. We report not only new sightings of this parasitoid genus in the Philippines from surveys conducted in parts of the provinces of Laguna and Batangas, but also the discovery of a possibly new species that, like C.unifasciata, has been found to parasitize A.rigidus at a high rate. These findings have presented a potential of biological control against the coconut scale insect problem that has threatened the coconut industry in the country.
