This paper presents a revision of the genus Acerophagus E. Smith (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae). Some morphological characters which may aid in distinguishing between species are discussed, and keys are given for both sexes. Several species are redescribed and illustrated, and the distinguishing characters of all species are presented.

The following species are described as new: Acerophagus antennalis Rosen and A. californicus Rosen from California; A. flavus Rosen from Jamaica; A. luteolus Rosen from Trinidad.

All the known species of Acerophagus are primary parasites of mealybugs.
