This study is based upon material collected in Turkey (Diyarbak?r and Bingöl provinces) between 2017 2020. In total, nine species belonging to four genera from three subfamilies Chalcididae, one genus Leucospidae Perilampidae were listed. Among them, Conura libanotica (Schmiedeknecht, 1909) the family Chalcididae was recorded, which a first report for Turkish fauna. Additionally, male genitalia...

A survey was conducted in Iran, on xylophagous beetles, to collect and determine their associated chalcidoid parasitoids (Hym.: Chalcidoidea). Nineteen species of parasitoids are recorded. These species are from 6 families: Chalcididae, Encyrtidae, Eulophidae, Eupelmidae, Eurytomidae and Pteromalidae belong 4, 1, 1, 2, 4 and 7 species, respectively. Five species were discovered as new record fo...

Protapanteles (Protapanteles) enephes (Nixon, 1965) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Microgastrinae) was reared from the host Fountainea ryphea phidile (Geyer, 1837) (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Charaxinae), collected on Croton floribundus Spreng. (Euphorbiaceae) in São Carlos, São Paulo state, Brazil. The hyperperparasitoids Conura sp. (Hymenoptera, Chalcididae) and a Pteromalidae species are registere...

A lectotype is designated for Brachymeria subrugosa Blanchard 1942 (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae). The species is diagnosed, redescribed, and compared to B. subconica Bouček, both of which are illustrated by macrophotography. Taxonomic notes, new parasitoid/host associations and new geographical records are also given for B. subrugosa. Brachymeria annulipes (Costa Lima 1919), a junior secondary hom...

BACKGROUND Chalcidids are one of the most important parasitoids of pupae of agriculturally important pests belonging to orders like Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera and Hymenoptera. Such an important group has not been studied consistently by any team of workers from any country apart from the notable contributions by Boucek, Steffan, Delvare and Narendran. (Boucek 1988, Steffan 1973, Delvare 1...

Philornis Meinert larvae are known as parasites of birds, with coprophagous, semi-hematophagous or hematophagous habits. Biological data of the larvae of the fifty described species are still scarcely known. Here we describe some aspects of the parasitism of a species of Philornis on Thalurania glaucopis Gmelin (Trochilidae) and record two species of Chalcididae (Hymenoptera) parasitoids, Conur...

in the course of this study, the number of recorded chalcidids (hym.: chalcididae) from iranincreased to 42 species (including one unidentified species of the genus lasiochalcidia masi), of whichfifteen species and four genera are new to iranian chalcidid fauna. the family chalcididae is repredentedby three subfamilies in iran as follows: chalcidinae (16 species), dirhininae (two species), andh...

In the comprehensive rearing of lepidopterans from peninsular India, eleven species of Lycaenidae were parasitized by ten species of wasps. Four new taxa of lycaenid associated microgastrine wasps Parapanteles eros Gupta n. sp., P. arka Gupta n. sp., P. esha Gupta n. sp., and P. regale Gupta n. sp. reared from Chilades pandava (Horsfield), Curetis thetis (Drury), Prosotas dubiosa (Semper), Taju...
