in the current study, the information on occurrence, distribution and host aphid-plant associations for the species of praon haliday in iran are presented. eight species of praon were found in the areas under study, which include four previously reported species, viz. praon absinthi bignell, praon barbatum mackauer, praon exsoletum (nees) and praon volucre (haliday), and four new records, praon...

aphid parasitoids (braconidae: aphidiinae) in several localities of kerman province, southeastern iran were studied between 2007 and 2008 and 20 species belonging to eight genera were identified. parasitoids were reared from 25 field-collected aphid species occurring on 31 host plant species. in the present study, 83 parasitoid-aphid-plant associations, their aphid hosts, and the respective hos...

Here we present additional data on the Aphidiinae fauna of Kyrgyzstan. We identified 18 species. One species new to science ( Trioxys depressus sp. nov. ) is described, while 11 are reported for first time: Aphidius avenae Haliday, A. ervi matricariae salicis urticae Ephedrus cerasicola Starý, E. niger Gautier, Bonnamour & Gaumont, Lysiphlebus cardui (Marshall), L. confusus Tremblay Ead...

Wasps of the braconid subfamily Aphidiinae are solitary endoparasitoids of aphids. Several aspects of their biology have been the focus of intuitive evolutionary hypotheses which could be tested with a robust phylogeny. Phylogenetic hypotheses have been proposed previously for aphidiines based on morphology, embryology, and DNA sequences. However, many of them are based on a limited number of c...

Over the period 2006–2010, 40 species of primary parasitoids belonging to eleven genera were found and reared from 50 species of host aphids, from a total of 106 host plants collected from 62 localities all around Slovenia. Over 230 tritrophic associations have been reviewed, including four associations which are reported for the first time; Ephedrus plagiator/ Staticobium limonii/ Limonium ang...

The impact of pests and diseases on agricultural crops has been amplified due to global environmental changes, resulting in an estimated adverse effect 1.4 trillion dollars, which is approximately 5% the world's gross domestic product. Research was conducted various species parasitic entomophages, such as Aphidius matricaria Hal, gifuensis Ashm, Lysiphlebus japonica Tokawa, ervi fabarum Marsh, ...
