“…Other investigators (Boyer 1994, Boyer andZelder 1996) have examined less than optimum hydraulic conditions within a constructed salt marsh in association with infestation levels of H. spartinae. Because inadequate tidal ßushing is known to exist in Ellisville Marsh (Ramsey et al 2007), it may be that this insectÕs association with salt marsh vegetation is somehow indicative of compromised hydrology or water logging.…”

Spartina alterniflora Loisel. and Haliaspis spartinae (Comstock) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), with its parasitoid, were surveyed in Ellisville Marsh, Massachusetts. Average scale density on the damaged leaves was equal to 265 individuals per 10 cm2. Parasitization of H. spartinae was recorded for the first time; however, the percentage was very low at 2.67%. The parasitoid is a new species for science and is described as Encarsia ellisvillensis Japoshvili & Russell sp. nov.
