Two species groups (the grandiculus- and the metacarpalis-group) of genus Apanteles Foerster (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Microgastrinae) from China are revised and keyed, with eight new species, namely, A. muticiculus Liu & Chen, sp. n., A. parvus Liu & Chen, sp. n. and A. flavicapus Liu & Chen, sp. n. of the grandiculus-group; A. transtergum Liu & Chen, sp. n., A. malleus Liu & Chen, sp. n., A. ...

The lacteus-, mycetophilus- and laspeyresiella-groups of the genus Apanteles Foerster (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Microgastrinae) are newly recorded from China with eight new species being described, namely A. basicavus Liu & Chen, sp. n. of the lacteus-group; A. brevivena Liu & Chen, sp. n. and A. parapholetesor Liu & Chen, sp. n. of the mycetophilus-group; A. artustigma Liu & Chen, sp. n., A. h...

In a paper about new species of Apanteles (Microgastrinae)(Liu & Chen, 2023), we regret the omission one author Jun-hua Chen in second place list who did great job construction ZJUH collection for this study and mistake institution order corresponding author.

in the course of study on larval parasitoids of carob moth, ectomyelois ceratoniae zeller (lep.: pyralidae), an hyperparasitoid wasp, pachycrepoideus vindemmiae rondani, was collected from pupae of apanteles sp. (hym.: braconidae). the latter species is the larval parasitoid of the carob moth. the p. vindemmiae belongs to the family pteromalidae and is a new record for iran insect fauna.

In this study, the population dynamics and bio-ecology of Diaphania indica (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) have been investigated. The abundance D. was recorded throughout year between 2018 2019 indicating an overlapping generations. We found that abundance/incidence June - July maximum compared to early summer winter. density weather parameters i.e., relative humidity positively correlated...

This article discusses the importance of representatives Braconidae family in regulating number harmful moths various agrobiocenoses. In order to determine species composition and biological features development entomophage Tashkent region, samples eggs, larvae butterflies occurring moth. Along with this, moth affected by entomophages were collected determined which they affected. As a result, ...
