The encyrtid wasp, Psyllaphycus diaphorinae Hayat, was reared from nymphs of Euphyllura olivina (Costa, 1839), an olive psyllid on the cultivated olive in district Rawalpindi and Chakwal. Present study discovered new host association for P. diaphorinae, which was previously reported in association with Diaphorina citri, an Asian citrus psyllid from India and Faisalabad city of Pakistan. Distribution map with new additional localities for parasitoid along with host (psyllid) is provided with digital images.
