the first occurrence of two parasitoid species belonging to the family pteromalidae (hym.: chalcidoidea) in alfalfa fields of maragheh (azarbaijan sharghi province) are reported: 1- halticopterina moczari erdã¶s, which was collected in 22 june 2003, and 2- trichomalus rufinus (walker) which was collected in 3 august 2003. both species were collected on medicago sativa by the second author.

Sirovena Bouček (Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae, Pireninae) was known only from females of its type species, S. stigma Bouček, 1988. Males and host associations were both unknown. Both sexes of a second species of Sirovena, S. costallifera sp. nov., reared from Ficus microcarpa L. (Moraceae) in Yunnan, China, are described based on morphological characters and mitochondrial COI sequences. The males...

Parasitoid-induced mortality of house fly, Musca domestica L., pupae and parasitoid progeny emergence by four species of pteromalid parasitoids, Muscidifurax raptor Girault & Sanders, M.zaraptor Kogan & Legner, Spalangia cameroni Perkins and S.endius Walker, were determined for a 24 h exposure period using parasitoid: host ratios ranging from 1:2 to 1:50. When the number of parasitoids was held...

in this study, two reared chalcid wasps are newly recorded from fars province, iran, as the natural enemies of fig soft scale, eulecanium sp.
